Psalms 98

1 A Psalm. O sing to the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

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 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.

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 mercy and his truth 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 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Make a joyful noise to Adonai, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing zahmar ·musical praise·!

5 Sing to the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.

6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

With trumpets and sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, make a joyful noise before the King, Adonai.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it, the world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

8 Let the floods clap [their] hands: let the hills be joyful together

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

9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness will he judge the world, and the people 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.
