Psalm 98-99New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 98

A psalm.



1
Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.

2
The Lord has made his salvation known
and revealed his righteousness to the nations.

3
He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.



4
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;

5
make music to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,

6
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
shout for joy before the Lord, the King.



7
Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.

8
Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing together for joy;

9
let them sing before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.

Psalm 99



1
The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.

2
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.

3
Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.



4
The King is mighty, he loves justice—
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.

5
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.



6
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
and he answered them.

7
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.



8
Lord our God,
you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
though you punished their misdeeds.

9
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.
