  1. O Sing to the Lord Psalm 98

  2. Deliverance (1-3) • Sing a new song – new hope, “a new chapter” in life • A cause for praise (joyful singing)

  3. Deliverance (1-3) • He has done marvelous things – extraordinary or wondrous (deliverance from Egypt, Mt. Sinai, Jericho, etc.) • His right hand and holy arm have gained victory – He wins!

  4. Deliverance (1-3) • He has made known His salvation – His part in their deliverance is unquestionable (marvelous works, prophesied, etc.)

  5. Deliverance (1-3) • His righteousness, mercy & faithfulness revealed – His work is just and His qualities are true • All the ends of the earth have seen His salvation (Joshua 2, Judges 7, 2 Kings 18-19,…)

  6. Deliverance (1-3) • To the house of Israel – His chosen people delivered • Ezekiel 36:22-32 – for HIS sake! Looking toward a better covenant

  7. Deliverance (1-3) • Ezekiel 36:22-32 • Sprinkling with clean water (25) • A new heart (26) • His Spirit within & obedience (27) • Delivered from all uncleanness (29-30) • Evil ways forgotten (31) • “For My holy name’s sake (32)

  8. Deliverance (1-3) • WE are spiritual Israel (Rom. 2:28-29, Gal. 6:16) • Our deliverance is in Christ • Forgiveness • Victory (1 Cor. 15:57) • Salvation (Lk. 2:29-32, 3:2-6) • God’s righteousness revealed in Him (Rom. 3:21-26, 5:8) • All can be saved – (Titus 2:11)

  9. Deliverance (1-3) • Consider Luke 1:46-55 Mary’s words • Different words, but a similar message – God’s deliverance of His people, Israel

  10. Joyful Praise (4-6) • Shout joyfully to the Lord – not a subdued and hidden praise • All the earth • The theme? Praising God. Not about the instruments

  11. Joyful Praise (4-6) • Rejoicing – the mantra of the Christian Phil. 4:4, 1 Thess. 5:16Rom. 5:1-2 – rejoicing in deliverance • WE have been delivered – Col. 1:13, Gal. 1:4Luke 10:20, Rom. 5:11

  12. Joyful Praise (4-6) • Rejoicing – when we assemble, there ought to be joy 1 Cor. 14:15, cf. 2 Cor. 9:7

  13. Joyful Praise (4-6) • Rejoicing – what about instruments in worship? • Singing only - Eph. 5:19, Col. 3:16, 1 Cor. 14:15, Heb. 2:12. NEVER are we commanded to use instruments in praise to Him

  14. Joyful Praise (4-6) • What about passages like Psalm 98:5-6? • We are not under the Old Law – Col. 2:14, Heb. 8:13 • If our text is authority for instruments today, why not animal sacrifices, incense, loud cymbals, rams horns, etc.?

  15. Joyful Praise (4-6) • What about passages like Psalm 98:5-6? • Did God actually authorize these instruments? Or did He simply tolerate such? • Consider2 Chron. 29:25, Amos 6:5.

  16. Joyful Praise (4-6) • What about passages like Psalm 98:5-6? • Finally, consider again Heb. 2:12. Question: WHY, of all the psalms, was one mentioning ONLY singing used to describe worship in that text?

  17. Final warning (7-9) • Let nature roar • Nature often used to describe the existence and power of God - Rom. 1:20, Psa. 19:1 • World created and sustained by His word – 2 Pet 3:5 • Because of evil, the “world” cries for justice Gen. 4:10, Rom. 8:18-22

  18. Final warning (7-9) • He is coming to judge the earth! • Just as He delivered His people in His time, there is a final judgment of ALL nations! • Psa. 2:1 (cf. Habakkuk) • Matt. 25:31-46 – “all nations” gathered. EVERYONE judged – 2 Cor. 5:10, John 5:28-29

  19. Final warning (7-9) • A day appointed – 2 Pet. 3:10, Acts 17:31 • He will judge in righteousness and with equity! All by the same standard John 12:48, Rom. 2:16, etc.

  20. There’s a Great Day Coming Will we be delivered on that day?
