< Psalms 98 >
1 A PSALM. Sing to YHWH a new song, For He has done wonders, His right hand and His holy arm have given salvation to Him.
Sing to Adonai a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
2 YHWH has made His salvation known, Before the eyes of the nations, He has revealed His righteousness,
Adonai has made known his yishu'ah ·salvation·. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
He has remembered his chesed ·loving-kindness· and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel [God prevails]. All the ends of the earth have seen the yishu'ah ·salvation· of our God.
4 Shout to YHWH, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.
Make a joyful noise to Adonai, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing zahmar ·musical praise·!
5 Sing to YHWH with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,
Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets, and voice of a horn, shout before the King, YHWH.
With trumpets and sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, make a joyful noise before the King, Adonai.
7 The sea and its fullness roar, The world and the inhabitants in it.
Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
8 Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,
Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9 Before YHWH, For He has come to judge the earth, He judges the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
Let them sing before Adonai, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
