Psalm 98 - A New Song for God's Salvation
Harps, trumpets, and roaring seas join this celebration of God's victory.
Psalm 98 opens with a victory shout, 'his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory,' extending the kingship theme of Psalms 97 into full celebration with harps and trumpets.
> Sing to Yahweh a new song, For he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, With the harp and the voice of melody.
With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn, Make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.
Let the sea roar with its fullness; The world, and those who dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.
Let them sing before Yahweh, For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
