Psalms 98
1 Sing to Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated [his enemies].
Ein Psalm. Singt Jahwe ein neues Lied, denn er hat Wunder gethan: es half ihm seine Rechte und sein heiliger Arm.
2 Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished [them], and [people in] all the world have seen that he has done it.
Jahwe hat sein Heil kund gethan; vor den Augen der Völker offenbarte er seine Gerechtigkeit.
3 Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].
Er gedachte seiner Gnade und Treue gegen das Haus Israel; alle Enden der Erde sahen das Heil unseres Gottes.
4 All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!
Jauchzt Jahwe, alle Lande; brecht in Jubel aus und lobsingt!
5 Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.
Lobsingt Jahwe mit der Zither, mit der Zither und lautem Gesang.
6 [Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.
Mit Trompeten und Posaunenschall jauchzt vor dem König Jahwe!
7 The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!
Es brause das Meer und was es füllt, der Erdkreis und die darauf wohnen.
8 [It should seem as though] the rivers are clapping their hands [to praise Yahweh] and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,
Die Ströme sollen in die Hände klatschen, die Berge insgesamt jubeln
9 because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
vor Jahwe, denn er kommt, die Erde zu richten. Er wird den Erdkreis mit Gerechtigkeit richten und die Völker, wie es recht ist.
