PSALM 98 SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG!
Oh, sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.2 The LORD has made known his salvation; he has
revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! 5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! 6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! 8 Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together 9 before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity. – Psalm 98:1-9

SHOUT OUT LOUD YOUR PRAISE TO THE LORD by ILMA
Come let us sing to our Lord who have worked his salvation on us
Let your heart ooze with much thanksgiving for his steadfast love
He has chosen you to be his own and given you an image like him
The Lord gave you his own righteousness; be joyful to proclaim it.
Shout out loud with melody, using your voice, lyre and trumpets
Let all the gifts he gave you bring Him praise, honor and glory
Clap with a heart that longs to give him exultation and adoration
Let that jubilation be heard by the whole earth and all the nations.
Let the rivers clap, the hills sing and every part of nature glorify their Maker
For the LORD is full of righteousness and faithful to rescue and deliver
He will judge humanity with uprightness and the peoples with justice
The Lord will bring his mercy and love to all those who seek Him.
Occupy your life with worship, singing to Him who gave you all
Do not go against his commands so you will not sin and fall
Put off all your old self so you can fully give Him all the glory
Be joyful to thank Him; He has provided for you generously.
