Psalms 98

Sing a New Song
David’s poetic praise # 98 The Septuagint has David as the author. The Hebrew reads simply “A psalm.”
1Go ahead—sing your brand-new song to the Lord!
He is famous for his miracles and marvels,
for he is victorious through his mighty power and holy strength.
2Everyone knows how God has saved us,
for he has displayed his justice throughout history.
3He never forgets to show us his love and faithfulness.
How kind he has been to Israel!
All the nations know how he stands behind his people
and how he saves his own.
4So go ahead, everyone, and shout out your praises with joy!
Break out of the box and let loose
with the most joyous sound of praise!
5Sing your melody of praise to the Lord
and make music like never before! # 98:5 Or “accompanied by a harp and the sound of music.”
6Blow those trumpets and shofars!
Shout with joyous triumph before King Yahweh!
7Let the ocean’s waves join in the chorus with their roaring praise
until everyone everywhere shouts out in unison,
“Glory to the Lord!”
8Let the rivers and streams clap with applause
as the mountains rise in a standing ovation
to join the mighty choir of exaltation.
9Look! Here he comes! The Lord and judge of all the earth!
He’s coming to make things right and to do it fair and square.
And everyone will see that he does all things well!

The Coming of God
1A psalm.
I
Sing a new song to the Lord,
for he has done marvelous deeds.#Ps 96:1; Is 42:10.
His right hand and holy arm
have won the victory.#Marvelous deeds…victory: the conquest of all threats to the peaceful existence of Israel, depicted in the Psalms variously as a cosmic force such as sea, or nations bent on Israel’s destruction, or evildoers seemingly triumphant. His right hand and holy arm: God is pictured as a powerful warrior.#Is 59:16; 63:5.
2The Lord has made his victory known;
has revealed his triumph in the sight of the nations,
3He has remembered his mercy and faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the victory of our God.
II
4Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth;
break into song; sing praise.
5Sing praise to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious song.
6With trumpets and the sound of the horn
shout with joy to the King, the Lord.#Ps 47:6–7.
III
7Let the sea and what fills it resound,#Ps 96:11.
the world and those who dwell there.
8Let the rivers clap their hands,
the mountains shout with them for joy,#Is 44:23; 55:12.
9#Ps 96:13.Before the Lord who comes,
who comes to govern the earth,#Ps 67:5.
To govern the world with justice
and the peoples with fairness.
