Psalms 98
98
1Sing to God a brand-new song.
He’s made a world of wonders!
He rolled up his sleeves,
He set things right.
2 God made history with salvation,
He showed the world what he could do.
3He remembered to love us, a bonus
To his dear family, Israel—indefatigable love.
The whole earth comes to attention.
Look—God’s work of salvation!
4Shout your praises to God, everybody!
Let loose and sing! Strike up the band!
5Round up an orchestra to play for God,
Add on a hundred-voice choir.
6Feature trumpets and big trombones,
Fill the air with praises to King God.
7Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause,
With everything living on earth joining in.
8Let ocean breakers call out, “Encore!”
And mountains harmonize the finale—
9A tribute to God when he comes,
When he comes to set the earth right.
He’ll straighten out the whole world,
He’ll put the world right, and everyone in it.

Psalm 98
A psalm.
1Sing a new song to the Lord
because he has done miraculous things.
His right hand and his holy arm have gained victory for him.
2The Lord has made his salvation known.
He has uncovered his righteousness for the nations to see.
3He has not forgotten to be merciful and faithful
to Israel’s descendants.
All the ends of the earth have seen how our God saves ⌞them⌟.
4Shout happily to the Lord, all the earth.
Break out into joyful singing, and make music.
5Make music to the Lord with a lyre,
with a lyre and the melody of a psalm,
6with trumpets and the playing of a ram’s horn.
Shout happily in the presence of the king, the Lord.
7Let the sea, everything in it,
the world, and those who live in it roar like thunder.
8Let the rivers clap their hands
and the mountains sing joyfully
9in the Lord’s presence
because he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice
and its people with fairness.
