Psalms

Psalm 98:1–8

¹A Psalm.

Sing to the LORD a new song,

for He has done wonders;

His right hand and holy arm

have gained Him the victory.

²The LORD has proclaimed His salvation

and revealed His righteousness to the nations.

³He has remembered His love and faithfulness

to the house of Israel;

all the ends of the earth

have seen the salvation of our God.

⁴Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth;

break forth — let your cry ring out, and sing praises!

⁵Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,

in melodious song with the harp.

⁶With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn

shout for joy before the LORD, the King.

⁷Let the sea resound, and all that fills it,

the world, and all who dwell in it.

⁸Let the rivers clap their hands,

let the mountains sing together for joy
