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.

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

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

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.

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 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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