Psalms 98

Praise the King

A psalm.

1 Sing a new song to the  Lord,  * 98:1 Ps 33:3

for he has performed wonders;

his right hand and holy arm

have won him victory.  * 98:1 Ex 15:6; Is 52:10

2 The Lord has made his victory known;

he has revealed his righteousness

in the sight of the nations.  * 98:2 Is 56:1; 62:2

3 He has remembered his love

and faithfulness to the house of Israel;

all the ends of the earth

have seen our God’s victory.  * 98:3 Ps 22:27; Is 52:10

4 Let the whole earth shout to the  Lord;

be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing.  * 98:4 Ps 66:1; 100:1; Is 44:23

5 Sing to the  Lord with the lyre,

with the lyre and melodious song.  * 98:5 Ps 51:3; Is 51:3

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

shout triumphantly

in the presence of the  Lord, our King.  * 98:6 Nm 10:10; 2Ch 15:14

7 Let the sea and all that fills it,

the world and those who live in it, resound.  * 98:7 1Ch 16:31–32; Ps 93:1; 97:1

8 Let the rivers clap their hands;

let the mountains shout together for joy  * 98:8 Ps 89:12; Is 55:12

9 before the Lord,

for he is coming to judge the earth.

He will judge the world righteously

and the peoples fairly.  * 98:9 Ps 9:8; 67:4; 96:13
