The Lord of Power and Justice

A psalm.

98 Sing to the Lord a new song [C celebrating victory; 33:3; 40:3; 96:1; 144:9; 149:1; Is. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3],
    because he has done ·miracles [wonderful acts].
By his right hand and holy arm
    he has won the victory.
The Lord has made known his ·power to save [salvation; victory];
    he has ·shown [revealed to] ·the other [L before the eyes of the] nations his ·victory for his people [righteousness].
He has remembered his ·love [loyalty]
    and his ·loyalty [faithfulness] to the ·people [L house] of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
    God’s ·power to save [salvation; victory].

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth;
    ·burst into songs [L break forth and sing for joy] and make ·music [a psalm].
Make music to the Lord with harps,
    with harps and the sound of singing.
Blow the trumpets and the ·sheep’s [ram’s] horns;
    shout for joy to the Lord the King [47:2; 93:1; 96:10; 97:1; 99:1; Rev. 19:6].

Let the sea and ·everything in it [its fullness] ·shout [thunder];
    let the world and everyone in it sing.
Let the rivers clap their hands;
    let the mountains sing together for joy.
Let them sing before the Lord,
    because he is coming to judge the world.
He will judge the world ·fairly [with righteousness];
    he will judge the peoples with fairness [96:13].
