Read the full introduction
This psalm is to the same purport with the two foregoing psalms; it is a prophecy of the kingdom of the Messiah, the settling of it up in the world, and the bringing of the Gentiles into it. The Chaldee entitles it a prophetic psalm. It sets forth, I. The glory of the Redeemer (Psa 98:1-3). II. The joy of the redeemed (Psa 98:4-9). If we in a right manner give to Christ this glory, and upon right grounds take to ourselves this joy, in singing this psalm, we sing it with understanding. If those who saw Christ's triumph thus, much more reason have we to do so who see these things accomplished and share in the better things provided for us, Heb 11:40. A psalm.

Psalms 98 (ASV)
American Standard Version (public domain)
Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord
1A Psalm. Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song; For he hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him. 2Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations. 3He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises. 5Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody. 6With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah. 7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein; 8Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together 9Before Jehovah; for he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
