Notes

Psalms 98:2–3

The Lord makes known his righteousness and faithfulness (see also Isaiah 52:10).

Psalms 98:1–9

This psalm celebrates the Lord as King. The Lord is the true King of Israel, its champion and savior. His people sing a new song to celebrate his victory and his faithfulness to them.

The Lord shows his righteous rule to all the nations of the earth. One day, this will lead to a worldwide kingdom of justice (Psalm 98:2, 9). Because of this, all the earth should worship and rejoice together, for the Lord is coming (Psalm 98:4–6).

Psalms 93:1–100:5

These psalms challenge the doubts created by the exile (see Psalm 89) and answer the questions asked in Psalm 90:11, 13. The Lord has established a kingdom (Psalm 93) that is characterized by:

punishment of the wicked (Psalm 94),
respectful obedience among his people (Psalm 95),
justice for the poor (Psalm 96),
celebration in Zion (Psalm 97),
salvation for Israel (Psalm 98),
holiness (Psalm 99), and
praise (Psalm 100).
