Psalm 98

New International Reader's Version

A psalm.

98 Sing a new song to the Lord.
    He has done wonderful things.
By the power of his right hand and his holy arm
    he has saved his people.
²The Lord has made known his power to save.
    He has shown the nations that he does what is right.
³He has shown his faithful love
    to the people of Israel.
People from one end of the earth to the other
    have seen that our God has saved us.

⁴Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth.
    Burst into joyful songs and make music.
⁵Make music to the Lord with the harp.
    Sing and make music with the harp.
⁶Blow the trumpets. Give a blast on the ram’s horn.
    Shout for joy to the Lord. He is the King.

⁷Let the ocean and everything in it roar.
    Let the world and all who live in it shout.
⁸Let the rivers clap their hands.
    Let the mountains sing together with joy.
⁹Let them sing to the Lord,
    because he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the nations of the world
    in keeping with what is right and fair.
