Psalm 98

Psalm 97Psalm 99

Psalm 98 International Standard Version (ISV)

A psalm

Sing Praise to the King

98 Sing to the Lord a new song,
    for he has done awesome deeds!
His right hand and powerful[a] arm[b]
    have brought him victory.
2 The Lord has made his deliverance known;
    he has disclosed his justice before the nations.
3 He has remembered his gracious love;
    his faithfulness toward the house of Israel;
        all the ends of the earth saw our God’s deliverance.

4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
    Break forth into joyful songs of praise!
5 Sing praises to the Lord with a lyre—
    with a lyre and a melodious song!
6 With trumpets and the sound of a ram’s horn
    shout in the presence of the Lord, the king!

7 Let the sea and everything in it shout,[c]
    along with the world and its inhabitants;
8 let the rivers clap their hands in unison;
    and let the mountains sing for joy
9 in the Lord’s presence, who comes to judge the earth;
He’ll judge the world righteously;
    and its people fairly.

Psalm 98 King James Version (KJV)

98 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

5 Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

9 Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
