Psalm 98:6 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 98:4-9

The setting up of the kingdom of Christ is here represented as a matter of joy and praise. I. Let all the children of men rejoice in it, for they all have, or may have, benefit by it. Again and again we are here called upon by all ways and means possible to express our joy in it and give God praise for it: Make a joyful noise, as before, Ps. 95:1, 2. Make a loud noise, as those that are affected with those glad tidings and are desirous to affect others with them. Rejoice and sing praise, sing... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:6

With trumpet and sound of cornet ,.... The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Ethiopic versions, render it with ductile trumpets , such as were made of silver, as the two trumpets for the calling of the assembly, Numbers 10:2 to which the allusion seems to be here, called "asosra" by Josephus F3 Antique. Jud. l. 3. c. 12. sect. 6. according to the Hebrew language חצוצרות ; which he says were in length a little less than a cubit, but the pipe narrow, somewhat thicker than a flute,... read more

Universal salvation.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 98:5-7

Showing our joy in God. It must strike every reader of the Psalms that the call to give expression to the joy felt in God is very frequent. We are constantly made to feel that the people did not readily come up to the psalmist's standpoint. Emotionally he could not raise them to his level, and their flagging and dragging seems sometimes to worry him. But the intensely earnest man, the man of cultured spiritual feeling, the pious poet soul, always has this trouble, and is always in danger... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 98:6

With trumpet and sound of cornet; rather, with clarions and voice of trumpet. The chatsotseroth are "the straight trumpets, such as are seen on the Arch of Titus, used by the priests for giving signals" (Kay). The shophar is the ordinary curved or rounded trumpet or horn. Make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King; literally, before the King, Jehovah. (On the use of wind instruments in the temple service, see 1 Chronicles 15:24 , 1 Chronicles 15:28 ; 2 Chronicles 5:12 ; ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 98:6

With trumpets - The word used here is uniformly rendered “trumpets” in the Scriptures. Numbers 10:2, Numbers 10:8-10; Numbers 31:6; et al. The trumpet was mainly employed for convening a public assembly for worship, or for assembling the hosts for battle. The original word - חצצרה chătsôtserâh - is supposed to have been designed to imitate “the broken pulse-like sound of the trumpet, like the Latin “taratantara.” So the German “trarara,” and the Arabic hadadera. The word used here was given... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 98:4-9

Psalms 98:4-9. Make a joyful noise, &c. Because you all now partake of the same privileges with the Jews, join with them in worshipping and praising God. Sing unto the Lord with a harp Here again, as in Psalms 92:3, the worship of the New Testament is described in phrases taken from the rites of the Old. “The psalmist, beholding in spirit the accomplishment of the promises, the advent of Christ, and the glory of his kingdom, thinks it criminal in any creature to be silent: he bids the... 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
