Mazmur 98:2

98:2 The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; ¹ 

in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.

Mazmur 98:9

98:9 before the Lord!

For he comes to judge the earth!

He judges the world fairly, ² 

and the nations in a just manner.

[98:2]  ¹ tn Heb “makes known his deliverance.”

[98:9]  ² tn The verbal forms in v. 9 probably describe God’s typical, characteristic behavior, though they may depict in dramatic fashion the outworking of divine judgment or anticipate a future judgment of worldwide proportions (“will judge…”).
