A Call to Praise the Lord for His Righteousness.
A Psalm.
98 O sing to the Lord a (A)new song,
For He has done (B)wonderful things,
His (C)right hand and His (D)holy arm have [a]gained the victory for Him.
2 (E)The Lord has made known His salvation;
He has (F)revealed His [b]righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has (G)remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
(H)All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 (I)Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
(J)Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the (K)lyre,
With the lyre and the [c](L)sound of melody.
6 With (M)trumpets and the sound of the horn
(N)Shout joyfully before (O)the King, the Lord.
7 Let the (P)sea roar and [d]all it contains,
The (Q)world and those who dwell in it.
8 Let the (R)rivers clap their hands,
Let the (S)mountains sing together for joy
9 Before the Lord, for He is coming to (T)judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And (U)the peoples with [e]equity.
