PSALMS 98

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated his enemies. 2 Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished them, and people in all the world have seen that he has done it. 3 Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and ◄been loyal to/not abandoned► us. People who live in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated his enemies. 4 All you people [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully! 5 Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing delightful music. 6 Some of you should blow trumpets and other horns, while others shout joyfully to Yahweh, our king. 7 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar to praise Yahweh. Everyone on the earth should sing! 8 It should seem as though the rivers are clapping their hands to praise Yahweh and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh, 9 because he will come to judge everyone on [MTY] the earth! He will judge all the people-groups in the world justly and fairly [DOU].
