Psalm Ps. 98. This hymn celebrates God’s universal kingship (v. 6) by referring to the “marvelous things” and “salvation” that the Gentiles have seen God accomplish on behalf of his people. God has worked salvation (rescue from evil) for Israel, which all the ends of the earth have seen (vv. 1–3). All people in the earth should join Israel’s celebration, because God is their rightful king, too (vv. 4–6). The material creation should join all mankind in jubilant praise of the one true God, as they look forward to his rule (vv. 7–9).
Ps. 98:1–3 The term salvation appears in each of these verses. It describes God’s great deeds for the sake of his people as a whole. He provides protection from their enemies and creates the conditions in which faithfulness can flourish. God has done these great deeds to the house of Israel, but the benefit is not limited to them: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Ps. 98:4–6 These verses address all the earth, that is, all people, wherever they live. What God has done for Israel (vv. 1–3) is for the sake of bringing the light to the whole world.
Ps. 98:7–9 The invitation is extended to the human inhabitants of the world (the world and those who dwell in it) to include even the sea and all that fills it, the rivers, and the hills. The entire creation, human and otherwise, can rejoice at the prospect of God’s just rule (to judge here is to administer justice through a just rule).
