Psalm 98

¹98Sing to God a brand-new song.

He’s made a world of wonders!

He rolled up his sleeves,

He set things right.

²God made history with salvation,

He showed the world what he could do.

³He remembered to love us, a bonus

To his dear family, Israel—indefatigable love.

The whole earth comes to attention.

Look—God’s work of salvation!

⁴Shout your praises to God, everybody!

Let loose and sing! Strike up the band!

⁵Round up an orchestra to play for God,

Add on a hundred-voice choir.

⁶Feature trumpets and big trombones,

Fill the air with praises to King God.

⁷Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause,

With everything living on earth joining in.

⁸Let ocean breakers call out, “Encore!”

And mountains harmonize the finale—

⁹A tribute to God when he comes,

When he comes to set the earth right.

He’ll straighten out the whole world,

He’ll put the world right, and everyone in it.
