Psalms 98:4
2 The LORD has proclaimed His salvation and revealed His righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth—let your cry ring out, and sing praises!
5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, in melodious song with the harp.
6 With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
