Psalms 98

1 A Psalm. O make a new song to the Lord, because he has done works of wonder; with his right hand, and with his holy arm, he has overcome.

A psalm. Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done wonders; his right hand and holy arm have won him the victory.

2 The Lord has given to all the knowledge of his salvation; he has made clear his righteousness in the eyes of the nations.

The Lord has made his victory known, and revealed to the eyes of the nations his righteousness.

3 He has kept in mind his mercy and his unchanging faith to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Mindful he was of his kindness to Jacob, faithful he was to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

4 Let all the earth send out a glad cry to the Lord; sounding with a loud voice, and praising him with songs of joy.

Shout, all the earth, to the Lord: break into cries and music.

5 Make melody to the Lord with instruments of music; with a corded instrument and the voice of song.

Play on the lyre to the Lord, on the lyre and with loud melody.

6 With wind instruments and the sound of the horn, make a glad cry before the Lord, the King.

With trumpet and sound of horn, shout before the king.

7 Let the sea be thundering, with all its waters; the world, and all who are living in it;

Let the sea and its fulness roar, the world and the dwellers upon it.

8 Let the streams make sounds of joy with their hands; let the mountains be glad together,

Let the streams clap their hands, let the hills shout for gladness together

9 Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.

before the Lord for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with equity.
