The Lord has made known His salvation;
His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. vv.2-3
Read chapter 98
This song sings of what is still yet to take place. A future time when the Lord has made Himself known to all the world. No one will doubt His salvation and who God is for all will see and know Jehovah is God. In these two verses it even shows in the Hebrew that Jehovah (all caps LORD) has made known His salvation and then in verse three that all the end of the earth have seen the salvation of Elohim (God). They're the same! Not two different gods. This future time is the Kingdom we all wait and pray for to come and when it does there will be singing and rejoicing. It is the celebration of the Messiah (Christ) officially taking place of the King of the earth. Salvation is no small thing, nor God's mercy and faithfulness to others or ourselves.
Though this has still yet to take place the psalmist wrote it in joyful expectation of it to be true and take place. How can you rejoice now of what is still to come? What do you long to be revealed or understood of His salvation?
