A psalm
“O sing to Yahweh a new song!
For he has done marvelous things!
His right hand
Has gotten him victory.
His holy arm
Has gotten him victory.
Yahweh has made known his victory.
He has revealed his vindication
In the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his steadfast love.
He has remembered his faithfulness
To the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
The victory of our God.”
Psalm 98 has a non-descript title, a psalm, so that it is like Psalm 96. We are called to sing a new song to Yahweh because he has done marvelous things. His right hand and holy arm have provided victories for the Israelites. He has shown his victories, vindication of Israel before all nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen God’s victories.
