Introduction
God is celebrated for his wondrous works, Psalm 98:1 , Psalm 98:2 ; for the exact fulfillment of his gracious promises, Psalm 98:3 . The manner in which he is to be praised, Psalm 98:4-6 . Inanimate creation called to bear a part in this concert, Psalm 98:7 , Psalm 98:8 . The justice of his judgments, Psalm 98:9 .
In the Hebrew this is simply termed מזמור mizmor , a Psalm. In the Chaldee, A prophetic Psalm. In the Vulgate, Septuagint, Ethiopic, A Psalm of David. In the Syriac it is attributed to David, and stated to be composed concerning the "Restoration of the Israelites from Egypt; but is to be understood spiritually of the advent of the Messiah, and the vocation of the Gentiles to the Christian faith."
The Psalm in its subject is very like the ninety-sixth. It was probably written to celebrate the deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; but is to be understood prophetically of the redemption of the world by Jesus Christ.
