Psalm 98:1

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 98:1-9

A New Song Psalms 98:1 In some half-dozen of the Psalms, in Isaiah, and in the Apocalypse there is mention of a New Song, and in this weary world, where many are feeling very old, and in an age that is straining after novelty, it may be helpful to meditate awhile upon Jehovah's New Song. I. A New Heart Sings a New Song. First, then, it may be a new song, not because the words are new, for they may be the most familiar words to us, nor because of the originality of the sentiment, but because... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:1-9

Psalms 98:1-9THE two preceding psalms correspond in number and division of verses. The first begins with a summons to sing to Jehovah; the second, with a proclamation that He is King. A precisely similar connection exists between this and the following psalm. Psalms 98:1-9 is an echo of Psalms 96:1-13 and Psalms 99:1-9 or Psalms 97:1-12. The number of verses in each of the second pair is nine, and in each there is a threefold division. The general theme of both pairs is the same, but with... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 98:1-9

Psalms 98:0 The New Song 1. The call to sing (Psalms 98:1-3 ) 2. The response (Psalms 98:4-6 ) 3. The praise of all (Psalms 98:7-9 ) The Lord by His coming has done wonderful things.

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 98:1

98:1 [A Psalm.] O sing {a} unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy {b} arm, hath gotten him the victory.(a) That is, some song newly made in token of their wonderful deliverance by Christ.(b) He preserves his Church miraculously. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:1-9

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 98:1

CONTENTS This, like the foregoing, is a true gospel Psalm. Jesus is adored for the victories of his redemption; and the Church, both Jew and Gentile, is called upon to sing aloud the triumphs of his grace. A Psalm. Psalms 98:1 It may be truly said of our Jesus, that he alone hath gotten the victory, for of the people there was none with him; Isaiah 63:3 . But what is this new song the church is called upon to sing? It can be none but that of redemption. For creation work had been long finished,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:1

Himself. There is no title in Hebrew. Hence many have attributed it to Moses, with the preceding psalms. But the name of Samuel destroys this pretension, and most people suppose that David wrote it at the removal of the ark. (Calmet) --- Others refer it to the return from captivity, (Theodoret) or to the dedication of the second temple, (Calmet) and the reign of the Messias. (Berthier) --- Angry. Though many enemies rage, and the whole earth be stirred up to oppose the reign of Christ, he... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:1-3

1-3 A song of praise for redeeming love is a new song, a mystery hidden from ages and generations. Converts sing a new song, very different from what they had sung. If the grace of God put a new heart into our breasts, it will put a new song into our mouths. Let this new song be sung to the praise of God, in consideration of the wonders he has wrought. The Redeemer has overcome all difficulties in the way of our redemption, and was not discouraged by the services or sufferings appointed him.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 98:1-9

Admonition to Praise the Messiah. This is the only hymn in the Psalter which simply bears the superscription, A psalm. In view of the wonders of God's grace and righteousness, as revealed in the coming and in the work of the Messiah, the whole creation is invited to unite in praise to Jehovah. v. 1. O sing unto the Lord a new song, one of the newness of all things in consequence of the redemption of mankind through the work of the Messiah; for He hath done marvelous things, the miracles of... read more
