Псалми 98
Ukrainian Bible
98 Псалом. Співайте для Господа пісню нову, бо Він чуда вчинив! Йому помогла правиця Його та святе рамено Його.
2 Спасіння Своє Господь виявив, перед очима народів відкрив Свою правду.
3 Пам'ятає Він Якову милість Свою, й Свою вірність для дому ізраїля. Бачать всі кінці землі те спасіння, що чинить наш Бог.
4 Уся земле, викликуйте Господу, покликуйте радісно, і співайте та грайте!
5 Грайте Господеві на гуслах, на гуслах і піснопінням,
6 на сурмах і голосом рогу викликуйте перед обличчям Царя Цього й Господа!
7 Нехай шумить море й усе, що у ньому, вселенна й мешканці її,
8 ріки хай плещуть в долоні, разом радіють хай гори
9 перед обличчям Господнім, бо Він землю судити гряде: Він за справедливістю буде судити вселенну, і народи по правді!
Psalm 98
New English Translation
Psalm 98[a]
A psalm.
98 Sing to the Lord a new song,[b]
for he performs[c] amazing deeds.
His right hand and his mighty arm
accomplish deliverance.[d]
2 The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver;[e]
in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.
3 He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel.[f]
All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.[g]
4 Shout out praises to the Lord, all the earth.
Break out in a joyful shout and sing!
5 Sing to the Lord accompanied by a harp,
accompanied by a harp and the sound of music.
6 With trumpets and the blaring of the ram’s horn,
shout out praises before the king, the Lord.
7 Let the sea and everything in it shout,
along with the world and those who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands!
Let the mountains sing in unison
9 before the Lord.
For he comes to judge the earth.
He judges the world fairly,[h]
and the nations in a just manner.
Footnotes
- Psalm 98:1 sn Psalm 98. The psalmist summons the whole earth to praise God because he reveals his justice and delivers Israel.
- Psalm 98:1 sn A new song is appropriate because the Lord is constantly intervening in the world as its just king. See Ps 96:1.
- Psalm 98:1 tn The perfect verbal forms in vv. 1-3 are understood here as describing characteristic divine activities. Another option is to translate them as present perfects, “has performed…has accomplished deliverance, etc.” referring to completed actions that have continuing results.
- Psalm 98:1 tn Heb “his right hand delivers for him and his holy arm.” The right hand and arm symbolize his power as a warrior-king (see Isa 52:10). His arm is “holy” in the sense that it is in a category of its own; God’s power is incomparable.
- Psalm 98:2 tn Heb “makes known his deliverance.”
- Psalm 98:3 tn Heb “he remembers his loyal love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel.”
- Psalm 98:3 tn Heb “the deliverance of our God,” with “God” being a subjective genitive (= God delivers).
- Psalm 98:9 tn The verbal forms in v. 9 probably describe God’s typical, characteristic behavior, though they may depict in dramatic fashion the outworking of divine judgment or anticipate a future judgment of worldwide proportions (“will judge…”).
