Psalms 98 GNV

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 Psalme. Sing vnto the Lord a newe song: for hee hath done marueilous things: his right hand, and his holy arme haue gotten him the victorie.

2The Lord declared his saluation: his righteousnes hath he reueiled in the sight of ye nations.

3He hath remembred his mercy and his trueth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth haue seene the saluation of our God.

4All the earth, sing ye loude vnto the Lord: crie out and reioyce, and sing prayses.

5Sing prayse to the Lord vpon the harpe, euen vpon the harpe with a singing voyce.

6With shalmes and sound of trumpets sing loude before the Lord the King.

7Let the sea roare, and all that therein is, the world, and they that dwell therein.

8Let the floods clap their hands, and let the mountaines reioyce together

9Before the Lord: for he is come to iudge the earth: with righteousnesse shall hee iudge the world, and the people with equitie.
