9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Psa 98:1-3
We are here called upon again to sing unto the Lord a new song, as before, Ps. 96:1. "Sing a most excellent song, the best song you have.' Let the song of Christ's love be like Solomon's on that subject, a song of songs. A song of praise for redeeming love is a new song, such a song as had not been sung before; for this is a mystery which was hidden from ages and generations. Converts sing a new song, very different from what they had sung; they change their wonder and change their joy, and therefore change their note. If the grace of God put a new heart into our breasts, it will therewith put a new song into our mouths.

Psa 98:4-9
The setting up of the kingdom of Christ is here represented as a matter of joy and praise.
