98 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Creation Rejoices in His Salvation

Psalm 98

A psalm.
Sing to Adonai a new song,
    for He has done marvelous things.
His right hand and His holy arm
    have won victory for Him.
Adonai has made His salvation known.
He has revealed His righteousness before the eyes of the nations.
He has remembered His lovingkindness,
    His faithfulness to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Shout joyfully to Adonai, all the earth.
Break forth, sing for joy, and sing praises.
Sing praises to Adonai with the harp,
with the harp and a voice of melody.
With trumpets and sound of the shofar
blast a sound before the King, Adonai.
Let the sea roar and all within it,
the world and those who dwell in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing for joy together—
before Adonai, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
and the peoples with fairness.
