98 Sing a new song[a] to the Lord,
because he has done amazing things!

He showed them his goodness.

People everywhere have seen our God’s power to save.

Start singing happy songs of praise!

Yes, praise him with music from the harps.
6 Blow the pipes and horns,
and shout for joy to the Lord our King!
7 Let the sea and everything in it,
the earth and all who live in it shout his praise!
8 Rivers, clap your hands!
All together now, mountains sing out!

because he is coming to judge the world.
He will rule the world fairly.
He will rule the people with goodness.
