Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 98:5

"Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp;With the harp and the voice of melody.With trumpets and the sound of cornetMake a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah."The message of these two verses is one. They are a call to bring the mechanical instruments of music into the worship of God. (For more comments on this, see my comments on this at the end of Psalms 150.)These words, like Psalms 98:4. are addressed to "all nations." "God's covenant relationship with Israel was never intended to be... 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. It celebrates a deliverance which God has wrought for Israel in the sight of all the earth (Psalms 98:1-3), ’summons all men (Psalms 98:4-6), and all nature (Psalms 98:7-9) to praise Him. Psalms 98:6 proclaims Him as King, and Psalms 98:9 anticipates with gladness His coming to judge the world.2. Heathen] RV ’nations.’5. A Psalm] RV ’melody’: see Isaiah 51:3. 9.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 98:1-9

A New Song Psalms 98:1 In some half-dozen of the Psalms, in Isaiah, and in the Apocalypse there is mention of a New Song, and in this weary world, where many are feeling very old, and in an age that is straining after novelty, it may be helpful to meditate awhile upon Jehovah's New Song. I. A New Heart Sings a New Song. First, then, it may be a new song, not because the words are new, for they may be the most familiar words to us, nor because of the originality of the sentiment, but because... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:1-9

Psalms 98:1-9THE two preceding psalms correspond in number and division of verses. The first begins with a summons to sing to Jehovah; the second, with a proclamation that He is King. A precisely similar connection exists between this and the following psalm. Psalms 98:1-9 is an echo of Psalms 96:1-13 and Psalms 99:1-9 or Psalms 97:1-12. The number of verses in each of the second pair is nine, and in each there is a threefold division. The general theme of both pairs is the same, but with... read more

Psalms 98:0 The New Song 1. The call to sing (Psalms 98:1-3 ) 2. The response (Psalms 98:4-6 ) 3. The praise of all (Psalms 98:7-9 ) The Lord by His coming has done wonderful things.

He has also remembered the house of Israel in His mercy and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of God. And therefore the call to sing the new song. And the world and... read more
