98 1 An earnest exhortation to all creatures to praise the Lord for his power, mercy and fidelity in his promise by Christ, 10 by whom he hath communicated his salvation to all nations.
A Psalm.
1 Sing [a]unto the Lord a new song: for he hath done marvelous things: (A)his right hand, and his holy [b]arm have gotten him the victory.
2 The Lord declared his [c]salvation: his righteousness hath he revealed in the sight of the nations.
3 He hath [d]remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 All the earth, sing ye loud unto the Lord: cry out and rejoice, and sing praises.
5 Sing praise to the Lord upon the harp, even upon the harp with a singing voice.
6 With [e]shalms and sound of trumpets sing loud before the Lord the king.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that therein is, the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands, and let the mountains rejoice together,
9 Before the Lord: for he is come to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world: and the people with equity.
5 Thus saith God the Lord (he that created the heavens and spread them abroad: he that stretched forth the earth, and the buds thereof: he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein)
6 I the Lord have called thee in [a]righteousness, and will hold [b]thine hand, and I will keep thee, and give thee for a [c]covenant of the people, and for a light of the Gentiles,
7 That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind, and bring out the prisoners from the prison: and them that sit in darkness, out of the prison house.
8 I am the Lord, this is my Name, and my [d]glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are [e]come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they come forth, I tell you of them.
34 [a]Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive, that (A)[b]God is no [respecter] of persons.
35 But in every nation he that [c]feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 Ye [d]know the word which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, which is Lord of all:
37 [e]Even the word which came through all Judea, (B)beginning in Galilee, after the Baptism which John preached:
38 To wit, how God [f]anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil: for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom they slew, hanging him on a tree.
40 Him God raised up the third day, and caused that he was showed openly:
41 Not to all the people, but unto the witnesses [g]chosen before of God, even to us which did eat and drink with him, after he arose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify, that it is he that is ordained of God a judge of quick and dead.
43 To him also give all the (C)Prophets witness, that through his Name all that believe in him, shall receive remission of sins.
