4-9 Let all the children of men rejoice in the setting up the kingdom of Christ, for all may benefit by it. The different orders of rational creatures in the universe, seem to be described in figurative language in the reign of the great Messiah. The kingdom of Christ will be a blessing to the whole creation. We expect his second coming to begin his glorious reign. Then shall heaven and earth rejoice, and the joy of the redeemed shall be full. But sin and its dreadful effects will not be utterly done away, till the Lord come to judge the world in righteousness. Seeing then that we look for such things, let us give diligence that we may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless...

The first strophe gives the grounds of praise (Psalms 98:1); the next describes the method of praise (Psalms 98:4); the third contains a call on all nature to join in the praise (Psalms 98:7).

XCVIII. A PSALM OF GRATEFUL JOY. The poet calls all nations and all mankind to rejoice, because Yahweh has manifested His righteousness. Here, as in Psalms 98:2 Is., righteousness means Yahweh's vindication of Israel's rights (see Psalms 103:6; Isaiah 45:24). It is almost equivalent to the grace which Yahweh shows to Israel. Yahweh will, moreover, come speedily to judge the world. PSALMS 98:1. A NEW SONG: see on Psalms 96:1. Yahweh's arm is holy, because separate from all human weakness and defilement....

DISCOURSE: 665 CHRIST’S ADVENT A GROUND OF JOY Psalms 98:1. O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he hath done marvellous things; his right hand and his holy arm hath gotten him the victory.

Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: with rig
