Psalm 98

by George Wither 1588–1667

Translated by George Wither (1632) · From The Psalmes of David Translated into Lyrick-Verse (1632)

Religion

NEw songs, vnto the Lord indite;
For, mighty marvailes he hath done.
His Right-hand, hath prevaild in fight,
His holy Arme, the conquest wonn.
The Gentiles have in publike vew'd,
Howiust & healpfull, he hath beene:
To Isr'el, Truth & Love he shew'd;
His Mercies, all the world hath seene,

Then, through the world his glory sing;
Sing praises, with triumphant voice:
To praise the Lord, the Psalt'rie bringe,
And on the Harp, with Psalmes reioice.
The Lord, the King, with mirth adore;
With Trump & Flute, this Ioye beginn;
Yee seas, with all your fullnes, roare;
Thou earth be glad, & all therein.

Before the Lord, your ioyes expresse,
Yee Flouds & hills: for, lo, he comes
To judge the world, with equalnes,
And, give the people, righteous doomes.
