Psalm 98
Antiphonary (1420) Bohemian Miniaturist, The Master of the Martyrologium of Gerona (active in the 1420s) Renaissance Style Szepmuveszeti Muzeum, Budapest, Hungary Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: Today's Psalm has a strong emphasis on praising the LORD with music. All of creation is to join in, making the cosmos and all that is within it a kind of choir, mirrored by today's painting. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 98, the Psalmist, perhaps David, called upon all of creation to praise God for his wonders in creation and for his grace and salvation. The author and the occasion are not specified; but this Psalm plus Psalms 96, 97, and 100 have significant parallels with David's Psalm which is recorded in 1 Chronicles 16. This fact may give us the author (David) and the occasion (the dedication of the Tabernacle) for all four of these Psalms. The Psalmist, perhaps David, tells us and all of creation to sing to the LORD because of the marvelous (incomparable) things which he has done and the victories which he has won. He revealed his salvation to the heathen by showing his mercy and truth to Israel -- possibly a reference to the deliverance of Israel from Egypt (1-3). We should make a joyful noise (a shout of joy) to the LORD using all kinds of musical instruments (4-6). The sea and everything in it, the rivers, and the hills should be joyful because the LORD is coming to judge the earth with righteousness and equity (7-9). [ Sermons: J Ligon Duncan III.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
