Psalm 98 | New International Reader’s Version

A psalm.

1 Sing a new song to the LORD. He has done wonderful things. By the power of his right hand and his holy arm he has saved his people.

2 The LORD has made known his power to save. He has shown the nations that he does what is right.

3 He has shown his faithful love to the people of Israel. People from one end of the earth to the other have seen that our God has saved us.

4 Shout for joy to the LORD, everyone on earth. Burst into joyful songs and make music.

5 Make music to the LORD with the harp. Sing and make music with the harp.

6 Blow the trumpets. Give a blast on the ram’s horn. Shout for joy to the LORD. He is the King.

7 Let the ocean and everything in it roar. Let the world and all who live in it shout.

8 Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing together with joy.

9 Let them sing to the LORD, because he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the nations of the world in keeping with what is right and fair.

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord

1 A Psalm. Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

2 The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody!

6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it!

8 Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together

9 before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
