Chapter summary

Psalm 98 begins with a call to sing a new song to the Lord because His right hand and holy arm have achieved victory through wondrous deeds. The Lord has made His salvation known and revealed His righteousness openly to the nations while remembering His steadfast love and faithfulness toward the house of Israel, allowing all the ends of the earth to witness His salvation. The text then urges the entire earth to make a joyful noise, break into song, and offer praises accompanied by instruments such as the lyre, harp, trumpets, and the blast of the ram's horn before the King. Furthermore, the sea and its contents, the world, its inhabitants, the rivers, and the mountains are summoned to resound and sing together for joy. Finally, this praise is directed before the Lord as He comes to judge the earth, the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
