This psalm practically bubbles over with joy and praise. The psalmist wasn’t satisfied to limit the praise to people. Let’s have the rivers clap their hands; let’s have the mountains and the sea join in the singing! Imagine how the hearts of early Christians must have soared as they sang “a new song,” one praising God for making salvation known in Jesus.
- “Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things,” says verse 1. In what ways can God’s people (who are not immune from disappointments and tragedies) sing a song like that with integrity? What are the “marvelous things” in your life for which you can honestly praise God?
- You may have learned that God’s judgment is a scary thing. For this psalmist, it’s not! Verse 9 begins, “Let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.” What reasons does the psalmist give for seeing God’s judgment as cause for singing?
