The Lord
Has Made His Salvation Known
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his
right hand and his holy arm have
worked salvation for him.
The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his
righteousness to the nations.
He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the
ends of the earth have seen the
salvation of our God.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song
with music; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound
of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—shout for joy before
the Lord, the King.
Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who
live in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together
for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He
will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.
Psalm 98:1-9
We all need reasons to sing, and we each have our own talents. God
delights in the voices of all His children as they give thanks and praise to
Him. We are invited to sing because God “has done marvelous things.”
The psalmist points out two wonderful reasons to joyfully praise
God in song and in attitude: His saving work in our lives and His ongoing
faithfulness toward us. In God’s choir, we each have a place to sing of the
marvelous things He has done.
God
loves to hear the voices of His children.
