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. Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have given him victory.

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

Yahweh has made known his salvation; he has openly showed his justice to all 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 calls to mind his covenant loyalty and faithfulness for the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.

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

Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth; burst into song, sing for joy, and sing praises.

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

Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and melodious song.

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

With trumpets and the sound of the horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.

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

Let the sea shout and everything in it, the world and those who live in it!

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

Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the mountains shout for joy.

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.

Yahweh is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness and the nations with fairness.
