English Standard Version

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord

A Psalm.

98 Oh sing to the Lord ^(A)a new song,
    for he has done ^(B)marvelous things!
His ^(C)right hand and his holy arm
    have worked salvation for him.
²The Lord has ^(D)made known his salvation;
    he has ^(E)revealed his righteousness in ^(F)the sight of the nations.
³He has ^(G)remembered his ^(H)steadfast love and faithfulness
    to the house of Israel.
All ^(I)the ends of the earth have seen
    ^(J)the salvation of our God.

⁴^(K)Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
    ^(L)break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
⁵Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the ^(M)sound of melody!
⁶With ^(N)trumpets and the sound of ^(O)the horn
    ^(P)make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

⁷^(Q)Let the sea roar, and ^(R)all that fills it;
    ^(S)the world and those who dwell in it!
⁸Let the rivers ^(T)clap their hands;
    let ^(U)the hills sing for joy together
⁹before the Lord, for he comes
    to ^(V)judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
    and the peoples with equity.

The Lord Our God Is Holy

99 ^(W)The Lord reigns; ^(X)let the peoples tremble!
    He ^(Y)sits enthroned upon the cherubim; ^(Z)let the earth quake!
²The Lord is ^(AA)great in Zion;
    he is ^(AB)exalted over all the peoples.
³Let them praise your ^(AC)great and awesome name!
    ^(AD)Holy is he!
⁴^(AE)The King in his might ^(AF)loves justice.^[a]
    You have established equity;
you have executed justice
    and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵^(AG)Exalt the Lord our God;
    ^(AH)worship at his ^(AI)footstool!
    ^(AJ)Holy is he!

⁶^(AK)Moses and Aaron were among his ^(AL)priests,
    Samuel also was among those who ^(AM)called upon his name.
    They ^(AN)called to the Lord, and he answered them.
⁷In ^(AO)the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;
    they ^(AP)kept his testimonies
    and the statute that he gave them.

⁸O Lord our God, you answered them;
    you were ^(AQ)a forgiving God to them,
    but ^(AR)an avenger of their wrongdoings.
⁹Exalt the Lord our God,
    and worship at his ^(AS)holy mountain;
    for the Lord our God is holy!
