Psalm 98

by Anonymous

translated by Timothy Murphy

Sing a new song to the Lord
for the marvels that he makes
with his right hand; his arm
is our deliverance.

To us he shows salvation;
to the nations’ eyes, justice.

He calls to mind his kindness,
his faith to the house of Israel;
so to the ends of the earth
the salvation of God is seen.

Raise a great shout to the Lord,
earth, cry out, sing praises.

Sing to the Lord with a lyre,
a lyre and the sounds of song,

with a trumpet, with a ram’s horn
blow a blast for the Lord, our king.

Let the sea roar in its fullness
with the world and all within it.

Let the rivers clap their hands
and the hills sing out together

to the Lord who comes to judge
the earth with righteousness
and the people with equity.
