98:1-3 Our reason to rejoice: God, who fulfills His promises. He enables our victories over enemies and fears; He saves our souls from corruption within and without. He has declared righteousness as the culmination of this life. He is merciful and impartial.His compassion prevails across the earth, giving access to all who wish to claim it.
98:4-6 Sing and praise like David, never losing sight of the fact the we have a good God who has promised God things. We have a God who is capable of the good things we hope and pray for throughout our lives. God is so faithful to us, He deserves our acknowledgement and praise of Him.
98:7-9 The whole earth sings and roars, filled with life by His creative hand. We praise because God's judgement has been promised; and with it, He will cleanse and heal humanity and the earth.
