Commentary on Psalms 98:4

Theological / Devotional

Joyful noise. See Ps. 66:1; Ps. 95:1 ; 100:1. Verses 4–6 state the manner of praising Jehovah.

All the earth. The psalm is distinguished by its universal appeal to all peoples.

Sing praise. Heb. zamar, “make melody,” either with voice or instrument, or both. Spiritually endowed creatures should consciously show forth the praise of God—men have voices with which to sound His praise and are gifted with the ability to make instruments with which to praise Him.
