Psalms 98

The Lord has performed wonders and accomplished salvation, revealing his justice to the nations and remembering his mercy toward Israel. The psalmist calls on all the earth to sing joyfully to God, accompanied by various instruments, and to make a joyful noise before the Lord. The natural world, including the sea, rivers, and mountains, will also rejoice before the Lord's presence. The Lord will come to judge the earth with justice and fairness.

Sing and exult, and sing psalms5Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist6with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king7Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it8The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together9before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness
