Psalms 98

1A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

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 is great in Sion, and high above all people.

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

3Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

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.

4And the king's honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.

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

6Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

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

7He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

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

8Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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

9Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.

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