Psalms 98

1 A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.

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 has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.

Adonai has made known his yishu'ah ·salvation·. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

He has remembered his cheshed ·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 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.

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

5 Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,

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

6 with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.

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

7 Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.

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

8 The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,

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

9 before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.

Let them sing before Adonai, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
