*Psalms 98

₁You must sing a new song to the Lord

because He has done

wonderful things and miracles.

He is strong and He defeated everyone.

He did not need anyone to help Him.

₂The Lord showed that He is strong

and He defeated his enemies.

All the nations saw how righteous He is.

₃He did not forget his love

that never changes and

He was faithful to the people of Israel.

People all over the world saw

how God saved us.

₄All the people on earth

must rejoice and sing to the Lord.

They must sing and play music

to praise Him.

₅Sing to the Lord with lyres.

Play music with lyres

and other musical_instruments,

₆with trumpets and horns.

Rejoice to the King. He is the Lord.

₇Let the sea and everything in it roar,

and let the world and all who live on it sing to Him.

₈Let the rivers clap their hands

and let all the hills sing together

₉for the Lord,

because He will come to judge the people of the earth.

He will judge them fairly

because He is righteous.
