Psalms 98

1 A psalm sing to Yahweh - a song new for wonders he has done it has given victory to him right [hand] his and [the] arm of holiness his.

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 He has made known Yahweh salvation his to [the] eyes of the nations he has revealed righteousness his.

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 covenant loyalty his - and faithfulness his to [the] house of Israel they have seen all [the] ends of [the] earth [the] salvation of God our.

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 for joy to Yahweh O all the earth break forth and sing for joy and make music.

All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!

5 Make music to Yahweh with a harp with a harp and [the] sound of music.

Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.

6 With trumpets and [the] sound of a ram's horn shout for joy before - the king Yahweh.

[Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.

7 Let it thunder the sea and what fills it [the] world and [those who] dwell 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 Rivers let them clap a palm together mountains let them sing for joy.

[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 Yahweh for [he is] coming to judge the earth he will judge [the] world with righteousness and peoples with 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].
