Psalm 98

“The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations” (2). We praise God along with the psalmist and “all the earth” (4), because He has done marvelous things (1). From walking with Adam and Eve in the garden to calling out to Noah, Abraham, Jacob and countless others, God has revealed Himself so that we can know Him. Rather than distancing Himself from rebellious humanity, “He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel” (3) – and to the world, through Christ.

In everyday acts of mercy and redemption in our lives, and uniquely in the Cross, we see “the salvation of our God” (3). We rejoice because He is the God who comes to save us.
