Psalm 98

1 Ein Psalm. Singet dem HERRN ein neues Lied! Denn er hat Wunder getan; es half ihm seine Rechte und sein heiliger Arm.

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 Der HERR hat sein Heil kundgetan; vor den Augen der Heiden hat er seine Gerechtigkeit offenbart.

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 Er hat sich seiner Gnade und Treue gegenüber dem Hause Israel erinnert; aller Welt Enden sehen das Heil unsres Gottes.

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 Jauchzet dem HERRN, alle Welt; brecht in Jubel aus und singet!

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

5 Singet dem HERRN mit der Harfe, mit der Harfe und mit klangvoller Stimme;

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

6 mit Trompeten und Posaunenschall spielet vor dem König, dem HERRN!

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

7 Es brause das Meer und was darinnen ist, der Erdkreis und die darauf wohnen;

The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!

8 die Ströme sollen in die Hände klatschen, alle Berge jubeln vor dem HERRN, weil er kommt, die Erde zu richten!

[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 Er wird den Erdkreis richten mit Gerechtigkeit und die Völker in Geradheit.

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].
