Our God Has Revealed to the Nations, All Saving Power
Psalm 98 is a hymn acclaiming that the Almighty is Ruler over all the universe. All nations witness the Creator’s mighty deeds, and for that we sing a new song. This psalm serves as a most appropriate link between the first reading and the gospel, both of which highlight the good fortune of a foreigner.
We sing to you a new song,
for you have done
wonderful deeds.
Right hand and holy arm
brought victory to God.
God made that victory known,
revealed justice to nations,
remembered a merciful love
loyal to the house of Israel.
The ends of the earth have seen
the victory of our God.
Make a joyful noise all the earth,
break into song, into praise.
