Shout to the Lord (3 of 8)
Series: Psalms that Sing

Psalm 98
If you've got your Bibles with you now this morning, if you will turn with me to the Book of Psalms, right there in the middle of your Bible. I thought it was interesting this past week to read how the majority of the inaugural Bibles, that's the presidential inaugural Bibles, are opened up to this very spot, the Book of Psalms.
We're continuing today in a brand new series of studies for this summer that we've just simply entitled Psalms That Sing. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love the Psalms, and I think it goes back to when I was just a young boy and growing up there in Milan, Tennessee.

I can tell you what it looks like even still to this day, and I guess that the main reason I love to read and study and, again, so appreciate the Psalms, is because they are what you might call a Reader's Digest of the entire rest of the Bible.
Matter of fact, Matthew Henry, that great Bible teacher who's so well known for his commentary on the Bible, when he started his exposition through the Psalms, wrote these words. He said, ''We now have before us one of the choicest parts of the Old Testament wherein there is so much of Christ and his Gospel, as well as of God and his Law, that it has been called the summary of both the Testaments.''
Martin Luther would have agreed with that quote wholeheartedly. He called Psalms, quote, ''A little Bible wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended.'' I really cannot think of anot ...
