Psalms 98:1. O sing unto the Lord a new song See on Psalms 96:1. For he hath done marvellous things The work of our redemption and salvation by Christ is a work of wonder.

His right hand, &c., hath gotten him... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:1-9

Psalms 97-100 God the universal kingPsalms 97:0 follows on from the thought on which the previous psalm closed (namely, that God is king over the earth). It shows that holiness, righteousness and justice are the basis of God’s kingdom. His judgment will be as universal as a flash of lightning and as powerful as an all-consuming fire (97:1-5). Every thing will bow before his rule (6-7). His own people already recognize him as Lord and bring him fitting worship (8-9). They can experience the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 98:1

PSALM 98PRAISE GOD FOR HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS;A GLIMPSE OF THE FINAL JUDGMENT DAY"This is a jubilant song of praise to God, because of the marvel that the divine revelation of salvation should be known to the ends of the earth."[1] If all people really understood what a marvel the salvation of God actually is, perhaps there would be a more general song of thanksgiving arising from the hearts of mankind.Just think!

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 98:1

Psalms 98:0. The Psalmist exhorteth the Jews, the Gentiles, and all creatures, to praise God. A Psalm. This psalm has several expressions like those which are used in Psalms 1 96: and therefore probably it was composed by David. The Greek copies call it, "A Psalm of David." Perhaps it was written upon occasion of some remarkable deliverance which God had lately granted to Israel, as an earnest of future blessings; especially of the coming of that great blessing, the Lord Christ, to give... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 98:1-9

Psalms 98This is another psalm that calls the earth to praise God in view of His coming reign. This psalm inspired Isaac Watts to write the hymn, "Joy to the World!" [Note: Wiersbe, The . . . Wisdom . . ., p. 268.] "It is a close companion to Psalms 96, but is wholly given up to praise. Here there are no comparisons with the heathen, no instructions in right worship: all is joy and exhilaration." [Note: Kidner, Psalms 73-150, p. 352.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:1-9

This Ps. closely resembles Psalms 96, especially in its beginning and ending, and is to be referred to the same occasion.
