< Psalms 98 >
1 A Melody. Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and his holy arm, have brought him salvation.
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 Yahweh, hath made known, his salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, hath he 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 hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness towards 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 aloud to Yahweh, all the earth, Break forth and make a joyful noise and sweep the strings;
Make a joyful noise to Adonai, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing zahmar ·musical praise·!
5 Sweep the strings to Yahweh, With the lyre, With the lyre, and the voice of melody;
Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn, Shout aloud, before the king—Yahweh.
With trumpets and sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, make a joyful noise before the King, Adonai.
7 Let the sea, roar, and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;
Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
8 Let, the floods, clap their hands, Together, let, the mountains, make a joyful noise,
Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9 Before Yahweh, for he is coming—to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, with equity.
Let them sing before Adonai, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
