The Book of Psalms

Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET

PSALM 98

Psa 98:1-9. In view of the wonders of grace and righteousness displayed in God's salvation, the whole creation is invited to unite in praise.

      1. gotten. . . victory--literally, "made salvation," enabled Him to save His people.
      right hand, and. . . arm--denote power.
      holy arm--or, "arm of holiness," the power of His united moral perfections ( Psa 22:3 32:11 ).

      2. salvation--the result of His righteousness ( Psa 7:17 31:1 ), and both are publicly displayed.

      3. The union of mercy and truth ( Psa 57:3 85:10 ) secure the blessings of the promise ( Gen 12:3 18:18 ) to all the world ( Isa 52:10 ).

      4-6. make a loud noise--or, "burst forth" ( Isa 14:7 44:23 ).
      before. . . King--hail Him as your sovereign; and while, with every aid to demonstrate zeal and joy, intelligent creatures are invited to praise, as in Psa 96:11-13, inanimate nature is also summoned to honor Him who triumphs and rules in righteousness and equity.
