“全地都要向耶和华欢乐；要发起大声，欢呼歌颂！”
诗篇 98:4
“Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises.”
Psalms 98:4
Psalm 98 is jubilant in its invitation to praise God. In verses 4–6, the psalmist exalts God as King. He enlists the harp, trumpets, and horn to accompany the human voices lifted in praise and adoration of the sovereign King.
In verses 7–9, God is praised for being the righteous Judge. Marvelous word pictures are used to magnify His justice. The fullness of the sea is to roar, the rivers are to clap their hands, and the mountains are to be joyful together. Voice, instruments, and nature join in to praise God.
Throughout the psalm, David recounts these marvelous things: God’s faithfulness and justice to all nations, His mercy, and salvation.
Dwelling on who God is and what He’s done can fill our hearts with praise.
What “marvelous things” has God done in your life?
Worship takes the focus off us and places it where it belongs—on God.
