“Joy to the World!”
Psalm 98
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song
with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the
harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the
ram’s horn—shout for joy before the LORD, the King. Let the sea
resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together
for joy. —Psalm 98
