Psalms
Psalm 98:2–6
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.
