Sing to Yahweh a New Song
A Psalm.
98 Sing to Yahweh a (A)new song,
For He has done (B)wondrous deeds,
His (C)right hand and His (D)holy arm have [a]worked out His salvation.
2 (E)Yahweh has made known His salvation;
He has (F)revealed His righteousness in the eyes of the nations.
3 He has (G)remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
(H)All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
5 Thus says the God, Yahweh,
Who (A)created the heavens and (B)stretched them out,
Who spread out the (C)earth and its [a]offspring,
Who (D)gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,
6 “I am Yahweh, I have (E)called You in righteousness;
I will also (F)take hold of You by the hand and (G)guard You,
And I will give You as a (H)covenant to the people,
As a (I)light to the nations,
7 To (J)open blind eyes,
To (K)bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who inhabit darkness from the prison.
8 (L)I am Yahweh, that is (M)My name;
I will not give My (N)glory to another,
Nor My praise to [b]graven images.
9 Behold, the (O)former things have come to pass;
Now I declare (P)new things;
Before they spring forth I cause you to hear them.”
The Holy Spirit Poured Out on the Gentiles
34 (A)And opening his mouth, Peter said:
“I most truly comprehend now that (B)God is not one to show partiality, 35 but (C)in every nation the one who [a](D)fears Him and does righteousness is welcome to Him. 36 As for the word which He sent to the sons of Israel, (E)proclaiming the good news of (F)peace through Jesus Christ—He is (G)Lord of all— 37 you yourselves know the thing which happened throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. 38 [b]You know of (H)Jesus of Nazareth, how God (I)anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, [c](J)and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for (K)God was with Him. 39 And we are (L)witnesses of all the things He did both in the [d]land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also (M)put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree. 40 (N)God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He appear, 41 (O)not to all the people, but to (P)witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us (Q)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And He (R)commanded us to [e]preach to the people, and solemnly to (S)bear witness that this is the One who has been (T)designated by God as (U)Judge of the living and the dead. 43 Of Him (V)all the prophets bear witness that through (W)His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
