Psalms 98 — Context

Make melody to the Lord with instruments of music; with a corded instrument and the voice of song.

With wind instruments and the sound of the horn, make a glad cry before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea be thundering, with all its waters; the world, and all who are living in it;

Let the streams make sounds of joy with their hands; let the mountains be glad together,

Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.
