Psalm 98:1
Context
A Call to Praise the LORD for His Righteousness.

A Psalm.

1O sing to the LORD a new song,
         For He has done wonderful things,
         His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.

2The LORD has made known His salvation;
         He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
         All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth;
         Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises.

5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,
         With the lyre and the sound of melody.

6With trumpets and the sound of the horn
         Shout joyfully before the King, the LORD.

7Let the sea roar and all it contains,
         The world and those who dwell in it.

8Let the rivers clap their hands,
         Let the mountains sing together for joy

9Before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth;
         He will judge the world with righteousness
         And the peoples with equity.

It constitutes the response of the Church to the divine demands of prophecy, and, in a less degree, of law; or, rather, it expresses those emotions and aspirations of the universal heart which lie deeper than any formal demand. It is the speech of the soul face to face with God. Its words are as simple and unaffected as human words can be, for it is the genius
