Read Psalms 98 in context

Scripture Focus

1O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

2The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

3He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

5Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

Psalms 98:1-6

Biblical Context

The psalm invites all creation to celebrate the Lord's saving acts and to acknowledge the mercy, truth, and righteousness that reveal salvation to the world. It frames worship as a joyful vocalization and instrumental praise that manifests divine victory.

Neville's Inner Vision

The call to sing a new song is not about external sound but about awakening a new state of consciousness within you. The marvellous things are the recognitions of your I AM, the right hand and holy arm through which you are victorious, already present in your being. When you accept that salvation has been made known within you, your inner righteousness becomes visible to the outer sight; mercy and truth toward your inner people become your remembered identity, and the ends of the earth witness the effect as peace, health, and harmony in your world. The joyful noise—harp, psalm, trumpets—is a disciplined reorientation of feeling toward the truth that the kingdom is now established in your consciousness. The Lord who reigns is the I AM within you, the sovereign ruler whose power operates unseen yet undeniably. In this awareness, exterior signs of salvation appear as natural outward manifestations of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, declare silently: I am the salvation of the Lord; rejoice as though this victory is already mine.
