98
A psalm.
1 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.
2 The Lord has revealed his salvation to the nations, and shown them his goodness.
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.
4 Everyone on earth, shout in triumph to the Lord; break out in joyful songs of praise!
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious voices;
6 with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn sing in happiness before the Lord, the King.
7 Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise, together with the earth and everything living in it.
8 Let the rivers celebrate, let the hills join in the celebration*
9 before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world justly, and the nations fairly.
* 98:8 Literally, “let the rivers clap their hands together, let the hills sing for joy.”
