1(98) A Psalm of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; for the Lord has wrought wonderful works, his right hand, and his holy arm, have wrought salvation for him.
1Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2The Lord has made known his salvation, he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3He has remembered his mercy to Jacob, and his truth to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4Shout to God, all the earth; sing, and exult, and sing psalms.
4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
5Sing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp, and the voice of a psalm.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6With trumpets of metal, and the sound of a trumpet of horn make a joyful noise to the Lord before the king.
6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
7Let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it; the world, and they that dwell in it.
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
8The rivers shall clap their hands together; the mountains shall exult.
8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, Yahweh.
9For he is come to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the nations in uprightness.
9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
