Psalms 97-98
What great words exalting our God for He is worthy of praise. All creation recognizes Him for who He is and declares His glory every day. He is also our protector and defender and is worthy of a new song and shouts of joy for all He is and all He has done.
Psalms 97 :4 his lightning lights up the world the Earth sees and trembles. My dog definitely agrees with this verse. Praise the Lord praise his holy name.

Psalms 97-98
Psalm 97 – God is not to be messed with. It is wise to be one who is righteous before him. Praise be to Jesus who makes this possible! “Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name!”
Psalm 97-98
No matter what I face today, the battle is won. The work He did to provide salvation and eternal life with Him puts all the troubles of this life into perspective. He is bigger and He is in control so I will sing to Him who holds me in His hand and trust.
Psalm 98 – We sing to the Lord with joyful, uplifted, jubilant hearts for his love, faithfulness and salvation. It is such a pleasure to do so with the congregation every Sunday morning!
ALL the earth rejoices and worships before the Lord.
“Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, And the peoples with equity.”
Psalms 98:8-9 NKJV
When I read that the rivers clapped their hands I thought, “wasn’t it the trees that clapped their hands?”
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”
Isaiah 55:11-12
Psalms 97-98
