Psalm 97
97
1 A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.
2 The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.
3 He has 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 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.
5 Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,
6 with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.
7 Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.
8 The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,
9 before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.
