Psalms 98
1 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].
“A psalm.” Sing to the LORD a new song; For he hath done marvellous things; His own right hand and his holy arm have gotten him the victory!
2 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.
The LORD hath made known his salvation; His righteousness hath he manifested in the sight of the nations.
3 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].
He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel, And all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!
Shout unto the LORD, all the earth! Break forth into joy, and exult, and sing!
5 Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.
Sing to the LORD with the harp, With the harp, and the voice of song!
6 [Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.
With clarions, and the sound of trumpets, Make a joyful noise before the LORD the King!
7 The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;
8 [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,
Let the rivers clap their hands, And the mountains rejoice together
9 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].
Before the LORD! for he cometh to judge the earth! With righteousness will he judge the world, And the nations with equity.
