Trumpets were often used in worship, signaling important events, and in warfare. The shofar, made from a ram's horn, was particularly associated with sacred occasions, such as the Feast of Trumpets (<a href="/leviticus/23-24.htm">Leviticus 23:24</a>) and the Year of Jubilee (<a href="/leviticus/25-9.htm">Leviticus 25:9</a>). The sound of the shofar was a call to worship and a reminder of God's presence and power. In the context of <a href="/psalms/98.htm">Psalm 98</a>, these instruments symbolize a call to celebrate and acknowledge God's sovereignty and victory.<p><b>shout for joy before the LORD, the King</b><br>The act of shouting for joy is a common expression of worship and celebration in the Psalms. It reflects a spontaneous and exuberant response to God's mighty acts and His kingship. The phrase "before the LORD" emphasizes the presence of God as the central focus of worship. The title "the King" underscores God's supreme authority and rule over all creation. This acknowledgment of God as King is a recurring theme in the Psalms and is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/47-7.htm">Psalm 47:7-8</a>, which proclaims God as the King of all the earth. This phrase also points to the messianic expectation of Jesus Christ as the ultimate King, fulfilling the prophecies of a coming ruler from the line of David (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, representing God as the sovereign King deserving of worship and praise.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/trumpets_and_horn.htm">Trumpets and Horn</a></b><br>Instruments used in ancient Israel for signaling, celebration, and worship, symbolizing the call to praise God with joy.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_people_of_israel.htm">The People of Israel</a></b><br>The implied participants in the act of worship, representing the community of believers called to praise God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_king.htm">The King</a></b><br>A title for God, emphasizing His authority, majesty, and rightful place as ruler over all creation.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_act_of_worship.htm">The Act of Worship</a></b><br>The event of communal praise and celebration before God, highlighting the joy and reverence due to Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/j/joyful_worship.htm">Joyful Worship</a></b><br>Worship should be characterized by joy and celebration, reflecting the greatness and majesty of God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognize and honor God as the ultimate King, whose authority extends over all creation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/communal_praise.htm">Communal Praise</a></b><br>Engage in corporate worship, understanding the importance of coming together as a community to honor God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_instruments.htm">Symbolism of Instruments</a></b><br>Appreciate the role of music and instruments in worship as a means to express reverence and joy before God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/anticipation_of_god's_kingdom.htm">Anticipation of God's Kingdom</a></b><br>Live with the hope and expectation of God's eternal reign, as symbolized by the trumpet's call.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_98.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 98</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_love_a_manifestation_of_god.htm">What musical instruments are mentioned in the Old Testament?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/which_instruments_are_in_the_old_testament.htm">What musical terms are mentioned in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_the_lamb_have_7_horns_eyes.htm">Why does the Lamb have seven horns and seven eyes (Revelation 5:6), and is there any scientific or historical precedent for such a creature?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what's_music's_role_in_church.htm">What is music's role and purpose in the church?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/98.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) <span class= "bld">Trumpets . . . cornet.</span>--(See <a href="/numbers/10-2.htm" title="Make you two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shall you make them: that you may use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.">Numbers 10:2</a>; <a href="/exodus/19-16.htm" title="And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightning, and a thick cloud on the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.">Exodus 19:16</a>; and <span class= "ital">Bible Educator, </span>ii. 231, 232.)
