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 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.

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.

Yahweh, hath made known, his salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, hath he revealed his righteousness;

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 lovingkindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel, —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 aloud to Yahweh, all the earth, Break forth and make a joyful noise and sweep the strings;

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

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, With the lyre, With the lyre, and the voice of melody;

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

With trumpets and the sound of a horn, Shout aloud, before the king—Yahweh.

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 who 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 floods, clap their hands, Together, let, the mountains, make a joyful noise,

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 Yahweh, for he is coming—to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, with equity.
