Psalms 98 DBY
Summary: Another "new song" psalm, opening "O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things" (v. 1), celebrating God's salvation made known "in the sight of the heathen" and remembering his mercy and truth toward Israel. It calls for a full orchestra of praise — harp, trumpets, and cornet — and then personifies nature itself joining in: "Let the sea roar... let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together" (v. 7-8). It closes anticipating God "come to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity" (v. 9).
1A Psalm. Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: for he hath done wondrous things; his right hand and his holy arm hath wrought salvation for him.
2Jehovah hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.
3He hath remembered his loving-kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of ourGod.
4Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth; break forth and shout for joy, and sing psalms.
5Sing psalms unto Jehovah with the harp: with the harp, and the voice of a song;
6With trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.
7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;
8Let the floods clap [their] hands; let the mountains sing for joy together,
9Before Jehovah, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
