The next six Psalms (95-100) may be viewed as completing the previous group (93-94). The first of the six (95) summons the people of God, in the Spirit of prophecy which animated the godly, to rejoice in Jehovah; no longer to be hidden but revealed in Christ Who brings in salvation, glory, and rest. In the second (96) the summons goes forth beyond Israel to the nations and peoples; as the third (97) is the new song that is sought. The fourth (98) demands a new song of Israel; and the fifth (99) is the answer. This is completed by Psa. 100 which expresses Israel in the joy of grace, while owning their own portion, inviting all the earth to shout aloud to Jehovah, and with enlarged hearts welcoming into His gates with thanksgiving those whose approach.
