Chapter 98

Sing a New Song: God's Marvellous Works

The psalmist calls all the earth to sing a new song because the Lord has done marvellous things, with His right hand and holy arm obtaining victory. The Lord has made known His salvation and openly showed His righteousness to the heathen, remembering His mercy and truth toward Israel. All creation is summoned to make joyful noise with harps, trumpets, and cornets, as the Lord comes to judge the earth with righteousness and equity.

¹O 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.

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

³He 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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