Psalm 98(97) Cantate Domino

1 (A psalm.)
Sing the Lord a new song, a song of wonder at his doings; how his own right hand, his own holy arm, brought him victory.
2 The Lord has given proof of his saving power, has vindicated his just dealings, for all the nations to see;
3 has remembered his gracious promise, and kept faith with the house of Israel; no corner of the world but has witnessed how our God can save.
4 In God’s honour let all the earth keep holiday; let all be mirth and rejoicing and festal melody!
5 Praise the Lord with the harp, with harp and psaltery’s music;
6 with trumpets of metal, and the music of the braying horn! Keep holiday in the presence of the Lord, our King;
7 the sea astir, and all that the sea holds, the world astir, and all that dwell on it;
8 the rivers echoing their applause, the hills, too, rejoicing to see the Lord come. He comes to judge the earth; brings the world justice, to every race of men its due award. (KNOX)
