Psalm 98 is famous for being a psalm and song of praise for Jehovah, the Lord, the Victorious King and Just Judge, as my Catholic Bible reports. Embedded in this doxology are certain presuppositions. First, God or Jehovah Lord or Master of the cosmos, his creation. He is also its administrator and executive as He/De rules the world of nature through in-place natural laws that keep the world as an ordered liberty.
Second, Jehovah is all-powerful (or very powerful under Mavellonialist listing of divine power, attributed to the Mother and the Father), so he will be victorious, sooner or later, over darkness, Satan and chaos, as its then victorious ruler.
Third, Jehovah will be crowned King (or King, the Father, and the Queen, the Mother) once His/De's rule of earth is completed and certain. God's servants, De's angels, Good Spirits, and obedient, loyal children of light will crown God, and sing De's praises with much love and joy emanating from their hearts, and voiced in song through their lips.
Here is the Psalm: "His right hand has won victory for him, his holy arm.The Lord has made his salvation known: in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God."
God will return to earth and cast out Satan, and rule here in Sa's stead. God's presence in this world brings salvation for humanity in this world and in the next. God is a god of mercy and love, so his dealings with the faithful and unfaithful alike will be just, kindly and faithful to his promises and covenants made with predecessors long ago.
