Psalm 98

A Call to Praise the Lord for His Righteousness.

A [a]Psalm.

1O sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done marvelous and wonderful things;
His right hand and His holy arm have [b]gained the victory for Him.
2 
The Lord has made known His salvation;
He has [openly] revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 
He has [graciously] remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have witnessed the salvation of our God.

4 
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Shout [in jubilation] and sing for joy and sing praises.
5 
Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
With the lyre and the sound of melody.
6 
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
Shout with joy before the King, the Lord.

7 
Let the sea thunder and roar, and all the things it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it.
8 
Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the mountains sing together for joy and delight
9 
Before the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And the peoples with fairness.
