Read this Psalm

A Psalm.

1 Oh sing to the LORD a new song,
   for he has done marvelous things!
His right hand and his holy arm
   have worked salvation for him.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation;
   he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
   to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
   the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth;
   break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,
   with the lyre and the sound of melody!
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
   make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!

7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
   the world and those who dwell in it!
8 Let the rivers clap their hands;
   let the hills sing for joy together
9 before the LORD, for he comes
   to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
   and the peoples with equity.

Psalm Devotional
Sing a New Song!

The Scots Covenanter David Dickson comments that “This psalm is an exhortation…to rejoice and bless the Lord for Christ’s coming to set up his kingdom in the world” (Psalms, Vol. 2, p. 185). It calls us to “sing to the Lord a new song”–an exhortation found in five other psalms (33:3; 40:3; 96:1; 144:9; 149:1). The song is not “new” because it is a new composition but because it celebrates a new event with powerful implications that are “new every morning” in the souls and on the lips of God’s people. The psalm is nearly 3,000 years old, but it has a perennial freshness to it, which is unfolded for us along three lines.
