Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses all people across the earth, framing the command within a designated Psalm of thanksgiving.
The words — The Hebrew verb הָרִיעוּ (ha.Ri.'u) literally means "shout for joy," directed toward לַ֝יהוָ֗ה (la./Yah.weh), "Yahweh."
The thread — This call appears in Psalms 98:4, which repeats the command for all the earth to make a joyful noise to the LORD, and surfaces in Luke 19:37 as the disciples praise God joyfully on the descent from the Mount of Olives.
Why it lands — The text commands a vocal, collective expression of gratitude toward God, requiring the reader to join public worship rather than observe it passively.
