Psalm 98

“O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonderful things” (v1). The psalmist encouraged Israel to sing about God’s faithfulness in the present – today’s victories. With voices and musical instruments, we are charged to celebrate God’s activity in our lives. Yet, this world isn’t perfect; we still experience darkness and trouble. Therefore, God’s people also anticipate the future – “He is coming to judge the earth” (v9).

God’s creation knows that His coming is good. The sea, the mountains, and the rivers will celebrate with us when God comes to make all things right (v7-9).
