Psalms 98 KJV

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).

1O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

2The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

3He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

5Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

9Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
