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 Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated [his enemies].
2 YHWH has made His salvation known, Before the eyes of the nations, He has revealed His righteousness,
Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished [them], and [people in] all the world have seen that he has done it.
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.
Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].
4 Shout to YHWH, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.
All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!
5 Sing to YHWH with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,
Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.
6 With trumpets, and voice of a horn, shout before the King, YHWH.
[Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.
7 The sea and its fullness roar, The world and the inhabitants in it.
The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!
8 Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,
[It should seem as though] the rivers are clapping their hands [to praise Yahweh] and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,
9 Before YHWH, For He has come to judge the earth, He judges the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
