98:2 The LORD has made His salvation known;
He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
98:3 He has remembered His graciousness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
98:4 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth;

With the lyre and the ①sound of melody.

98:6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
Shout joyfully before the King, the LORD.
98:7 May the sea roar and ①all it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it.
▷ ①Lit its fullness
98:8 May the rivers clap their hands,
May the mountains sing together for joy
98:9 Before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And the peoples with fairness.
