Commentary,
Psalm 98, James Howell, Pentecost +25, Preaching
This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2010.
- "Psalms scholar Walter Brueggemann explains praise for us: 'All of life is aimed toward God and finally exists for the sake of God. Praise articulates and embodies our capacity to yield, submit, and abandon ourselves in trust and gratitude to the One whose we are. ... We have a resilient hunger to move beyond self. God is addressed not because we have need, but simply because God is God.'"

Praise and Thanksgiving," Patrick D. Miller, Jr., Princeton
Theological School. Theology Today, 1988.
- "In a world that assumes the status is quo, that things have to be the way they are and that we must not assume too much about improving them, the doxologies of God's people are fundamental indicators that wonders have not ceased, that possibilities not yet dreamt of will happen, and that hope is an authentic stance."
