THE PSALMS of DAVID, PSALM XCVIII
by John Barnard (1815–1882)
Sing, to Iehovah, a new Song, For Wonders he hath wrought; His Right-hand, and his holy Arm, The Victory have got. His great Salvation, to the World, Iehovah hath made known; He, all the Nations, openly, His Righteousness, hath shown. His Grace, and Truth, to Isr'el's House, Fully perform'd have been; The utmost Bounds of all the Earth, Have God's Salvation seen. Let all the Earth, their Voice, to God, In Songs of Triumph, raise; Make the Air ring, with their loud Shouts, And jointly sing his Praise. Sweet Harps, and tuneful Voices join; In Psalms, the Lord's Praise sing. Trumpet, and Cornet, take, and shout Before the Lord, the King. Let Seas loud roar, the Earth and all In them, in Shouts combine, Let Floods clap Hands, and all the Hills In joyful Consort joyn. Before the Lord; to judge the Earth, He comes, in Majesty; The World with Justice, and it's Tribes, To judge, with Equity.
