Published Dec 28, 2025, 03:51 pm Psalm 98 presents salvation as a cosmic victory song that spans from God's past redemption to future consummation, calling all creation to joyful worship. The psalm declares God's salvation as already accomplished through His mighty acts—particularly in Christ's life, death, and resurrection—where His righteousness and faithfulness are revealed to the nations. This victory, proclaimed through the gospel, demands a response of universal celebration, as the whole earth, rivers, hills, and seas join in a cosmic fanfare of praise. Yet the song also looks forward with confident hope to Christ's return, when He will judge the world with righteousness and equity, reversing the curse of sin and restoring all things. Thus, the psalm invites believers to live in joyful anticipation, worshiping the triune God who has saved, is saving, and will fully redeem His creation.
