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.

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord
1A Psalme. Sing vnto the Lord a newe song: for hee hath done marueilous things: his right hand, and his holy arme haue gotten him the victorie. 2The Lord declared his saluation: his righteousnes hath he reueiled in the sight of ye nations. 3He hath remembred his mercy and his trueth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth haue seene the saluation of our God. 4All the earth, sing ye loude vnto the Lord: crie out and reioyce, and sing prayses. 5Sing prayse to the Lord vpon the harpe, euen vpon the harpe with a singing voyce. 6With shalmes and sound of trumpets sing loude before the Lord the King. 7Let the sea roare, and all that therein is, the world, and they that dwell therein. 8Let the floods clap their hands, and let the mountaines reioyce together 9Before the Lord: for he is come to iudge the earth: with righteousnesse shall hee iudge the world, and the people with equitie.
