Psalms 98

Psalm 98

1Sing to the Lord a new song,[#sn A new song is appropriate because the Lord is constantly intervening in the world as its just king. See Ps 96:1.]

for he performs amazing deeds!

His right hand and his mighty arm

accomplish deliverance.

2The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver;[#tn Heb “makes known his deliverance.”]

in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.

3He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel.[#tn Heb “he remembers his loyal love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel.”]

All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.

4Shout out praises to the Lord , all the earth!

Break out in a joyful shout and sing!

5Sing to the Lord accompanied by a harp,

accompanied by a harp and the sound of music!

6With trumpets and the blaring of the ram’s horn,

shout out praises before the king, the Lord !

7Let the sea and everything in it shout,

along with the world and those who live in it!

8Let the rivers clap their hands!

Let the mountains sing in unison

9before the Lord !

For he comes to judge the earth!

He judges the world fairly,

and the nations in a just manner.
