98:1Sing to the Lord a new song,1
for he performs2 amazing deeds!
His right hand and his mighty arm
accomplish deliverance.3
98:2The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver;4
in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.
98:3He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel.5
All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.6
Footnotes
- 1 A new song is appropriate because the Lord is constantly intervening in the world as its just king. See Ps 96:1.
- 2 The perfect verbal forms in vv. 1–3 are understood here as describing characteristic divine activities. Another option is to translate them as present perfects, “has performed … has accomplished deliverance, etc.” referring to completed actions that have continuing results.
- 3 Heb “his right hand delivers for him and his holy arm.” The right hand and arm symbolize his power as a warrior-king (see Isa 52:10). His arm is “holy” in the sense that it is in a category of its own; God’s power is incomparable.
- 4 Heb “makes known his deliverance.”
- 5 Heb “he remembers his loyal love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel.”
- 6 Heb “the deliverance of our God,” with “God” being a subjective genitive (= God delivers).
