Make a Joyful Noise: Come and See God’s Works
All the earth is summoned to praise and to come see God’s deeds. The psalm remembers the sea turned to dry land, drawing present worship back to the exodus and Jordan traditions. God’s rule over nations is interpreted through remembered salvation history.
The exodus becomes a major Christian salvation pattern, but A careful reading should first let Psalm 66 teach biblical memory: later generations praise because God’s earlier acts remain formative.
