Psalms 98:1-3

[1] [[A Psalm.]]  O sing  unto the LORD  a new  song;  for he hath done  marvellous things:  his right hand,  and his holy  arm,  hath gotten him the victory.  [2] The LORD  hath made known  his salvation:  his righteousness  hath he openly shewed  in the sight  of the heathen.  [3] He hath remembered  his mercy  and his truth  toward the house  of Israel:  all the ends  of the earth  have seen  the salvation  of our God.
