Compare all
2 aThe Lord has made known His salvation;
bHis righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the1 nations. 
3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
aAll the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 
4 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.
5 Sing to the Lord with the harp,
With the harp and the sound of a psalm,
6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn;
Shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell in it;
8 Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord,

Psalm 98:4-6

And there are many, many more similar verses and passages throughout the Psalms. So here the word horn, the shout of the horn, the sound of the horn, it says here is shofar, the shout of the shofar. And the idea is the same as the others.

I hope I am getting this across. The idea here that is coming out is that when God appears, the people make a terrific, loud, joyful shout in acclamation of God as King and for all that He has done for us. God is worthy of all praise and loud shouting and trumpet blasts represent that. And when God comes, you cannot help but shout, cheer, raise your voice in acclamation that He is a great, awesome, wonderful God. And He is terrifying, because that is part of it too. He is far above any of us or any in the world.
