Psalms 98

1 A psalm. Sing the Lord a new song, for he has done wonderful things: by his powerful right hand and his strong arm he has won the victory.

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 revealed his salvation to the nations, and shown them his goodness.

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

3 He has not forgotten to show his trustworthy love and faithfulness to the descendants of Israel. Our God has made his salvation clear to the ends of the earth.

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 Everyone on earth, shout in triumph to the Lord; break out in joyful songs of praise!

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

5 Sing praises to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious voices;

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

6 with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn sing in happiness before the Lord, the King.

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

7 Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise, together with the earth and everything living in it.

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

8 Let the rivers celebrate, let the hills join in the celebration

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

9 before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world justly, and the nations fairly.

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