Psalms 98:4
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth—let your cry ring out, and sing praises!
BSB
ASV
Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.
KJV
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Rejoice in God, all the earth. Not Judea alone, but all the earth — rejoice in the Lord. Send forth the standards of the victorious army. Sing and exult and make melody. Sing — in thought; but make melody — that is, with all your members. Let the hand make melody in almsgiving, let the foot make melody by going about in good work.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth,.... That is, all the inhabitants of the earth, as the Targum, to whom the joyful sound of the Gospel comes; See Gill on Psa 95:1, make a loud noise, rejoice, and sing praise; exalt and extend the voice to the highest pitch, in the most musical and melodious strains; this heap of words is used to express the intenseness of mind, vehemency of affection, and strength of spirit and exceeding greatness of joy, with which the Lord should be praised for his great and marvellous works.
We are here called upon again to sing unto the Lord a new song, as before, Ps. xcvi. "Sing a most excellent song, the best song you have." Let the song of Christ's love be like Solomon's on that subject, a song of songs. A song of praise for redeeming love is a new song, such a song as had not been sung before; for this is a mystery which was hidden from ages and generations.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
