A Call to Praise the Lord for His Righteousness.

A Psalm.

98 Sing a (A)new song to the Lord,
For He has done (B)wonderful things,
His (C)right hand and His (D)holy arm have [a]gained the victory for Him.
(E)The Lord has made His salvation known;
He has (F)revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has (G)remembered His graciousness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
(H)All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

(I)Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
(J)Be cheerful and sing for joy and sing praises.
Sing praises to the Lord with the (K)lyre,
With the lyre and the [b](L)sound of melody.
With (M)trumpets and the sound of the horn
(N)Shout joyfully before (O)the King, the Lord.

May the (P)sea roar and [c]all it contains,
The (Q)world and those who dwell in it.
May the (R)rivers clap their hands,
May the (S)mountains sing together for joy
Before the Lord, for He is coming to (T)judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And (U)the peoples with fairness.

Lovsang til Gud for hans frelse

98 Syng en ny sang for Herren
    om de underfulde ting, han har gjort.
Han har vundet en vældig sejr
    ved sin egen guddommelige kraft.
Han har vist sin magt til at frelse,
    alle folkeslag har set hans retfærdige dom.

Han har vist sin trofasthed og nåde mod Israel,
    hele jorden har set, hvordan han frelste sit folk.
Bryd ud i lovsang til Gud, hele jorden,
    råb af fryd og syng af glæde.
Syng for Herren til harpeklang,
    lad lovsangen lyde til strengespil,
til trompeter og vædderhornets lyd,
    en vældig symfoni til Herren, vor konge.
Lad havet med alt dets liv stemme i,
    sammen med jorden og alle dens folk.
Lad floderne juble og klappe i hænderne,
    bjergene bryde ud i glædessang for Herren,
for han kommer og dømmer jorden.
    Han dømmer verden med retfærdighed,
        alle folkeslag får en fair behandling.
