A psalm

98 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].
