Psalms 98

Set the trumpet to your mouth (Hosea 8:1). The tongue of the just is as choice silver (Proverbs 10:20), and both these, and all the rest of their musical instruments, were expressions and signs of joy (Psalms 98:6 & 89:15). Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound.

And the Scriptures represent the Saints on Earth as adoring God primarily on this Account, and admiring and extolling all God's Attributes, either as deriving Loveliness from his Holiness, or as being a Part of it. Thus when they praise God for his Power, his Holiness is the Bea…

Where ever it is mentioned, it is he who is intended. Psalm 98:18. so signally, (Zechariah 2:8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) and other places innumerable. 2. The bringing in of the Gentiles is acknowledged by all the Jews to respect the time of the Messiah, it being he who was to be a lig…

For the former, they declare that he was to be the Son of God, God and Man in one Person (Psalm 2:7; Psalm 110:1; Isaiah 9:6, 7; Jeremiah 23:5, 6; Zechariah 2:8, 9, 10), and in sundry other places is the same mystery intimated, whereby the Church was farther instructed how God w…

The Spirit and the Bride say, Come, etc. It's essential to all who have the Spirit, to join in this suit; and the Bride cannot but be supposed to love the last appearing of our Lord Jesus, which will perfect all her desires: And this coming of his, was prophesied of by Enoch, th…

12. Let the field rejoice, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice. Psalm 98:8. Let the floods clap their hands, let the hills be joyful together. See Isaiah 49:13. Isaiah 65:7. Jeremiah 31:11, 12, 13.

2. You discover much love to God, when as you would not dishonor him yourselves, so you are careful others may not dishonor him. Praise him, all you ends of the earth (Psalm 98:4; 100:1). You would have all the world own him.

2. For the exhibition of Christ in the flesh. (Psalm 98:2-3) The Lord has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly showed in the sight of the heathen. He has remembered his mercy and truth to the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation…

Q. 1. If multitudes and people externally covenanted with God, though not internally, whom the Lord calls his people and chosen by him (Deuteronomy 7:6, Deuteronomy 10:15), be the rightly constituted and visible church, as Mr. Thomas Hooker grants, then kingdoms must be his visi…

3. He makes all things new (Revelation 21:5). This Christ mends the broken gold ring which was broken by the first inattentive and rash Heir Adam; so that now heavens, earth, mountains (Isaiah 49:13), sea, trees, fields (Psalm 96:11-13) are commanded to sing a Gospel-Psalm of jo…

The word 'world' in scripture is in general taken four ways. First, for the world as container — generally for the whole fabric of heaven and earth with all things in them contained, which God created in the beginning (Job 34:13; Acts 17:24; Ephesians 1:4); and distinctly, first…

But all these expressions we find frequently to mean believers only, yet of all sorts and throughout the world. 'All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God' (Psalm 98:3). 'All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of th…

The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns, languishes and fades away. See also Psalm 98:8, Isaiah 16:8, Isaiah 35:1-2, Isaiah 49:13, Leviticus 18:28, etc. Now rejoicing, shouting for joy, singing, breaking forth into singing, clapping of hands, crying out, answering, mou…
