Psalm 98

Praise the King

A psalm.

Sing a new song to the Lord,(A)
for He has performed wonders;
His right hand and holy arm
have won Him victory.(B)
The Lord has made His victory known;
He has revealed His righteousness
in the sight of the nations.(C)
He has remembered His love
and faithfulness to the house of Israel;
all the ends of the earth
have seen our God’s victory.(D)

Shout to the Lord, all the earth;
be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing.(E)
Sing to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious song.(F)
With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn
shout triumphantly
in the presence of the Lord, our King.(G)

Let the sea and all that fills it,
the world and those who live in it, resound.(H)
Let the rivers clap their hands;
let the mountains shout together for joy(I)
before the Lord,
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world righteously
and the peoples fairly.(J)

A psalm

Sing Praise to the King

98 Sing to the Lord a new song,
    for he has done awesome deeds!
His right hand and powerful[a] arm[b]
    have brought him victory.
The Lord has made his deliverance known;
    he has disclosed his justice before the nations.
He has remembered his gracious love;
    his faithfulness toward the house of Israel;
        all the ends of the earth saw our God’s deliverance.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
    Break forth into joyful songs of praise!
Sing praises to the Lord with a lyre—
    with a lyre and a melodious song!
With trumpets and the sound of a ram’s horn
    shout in the presence of the Lord, the king!

Let the sea and everything in it shout,[c]
    along with the world and its inhabitants;
let the rivers clap their hands in unison;
    and let the mountains sing for joy
in the Lord’s presence, who comes to judge the earth;
He’ll judge the world righteously;
    and its people fairly.
