Psalms 98

1 [A Psalm.] Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.

A Psalm. O make a new song to the Lord, because he has done works of wonder; with his right hand, and with his holy arm, he has overcome.

2 The LORD has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

The Lord has given to all the knowledge of his salvation; he has made clear his righteousness in the eyes of the nations.

3 He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. Every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.

He has kept in mind his mercy and his unchanging faith to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth. Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises.

Let all the earth send out a glad cry to the Lord; sounding with a loud voice, and praising him with songs of joy.

5 Sing praises to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.

Make melody to the Lord with instruments of music; with a corded instrument and the voice of song.

6 With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn, make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.

With wind instruments and the sound of the horn, make a glad cry before the Lord, the King.

7 Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

Let the sea be thundering, with all its waters; the world, and all who are living in it;

8 Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

Let the streams make sounds of joy with their hands; let the mountains be glad together,

9 Let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.
