诗篇 96:1-3 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:1

The call for a new song. "The series of psalms to which this belongs is by nearly all commentators assigned to the period immediately succeeding the seventy years' captivity. The joyous feelings, the glorious expectations, the marked repetition (both in matter and style) of the later prophecies of Isaiah, their rhythmical character suggesting that they were intended for liturgical purposes, combine to identify them with this period." Take this idea of historical connection, and the ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:1-3

Songs and sermons. We have both in these verses. There is a threefold summons to sing unto the Lord, and a similar threefold summons to speak for the Lord. Such psalms as this never contemplate a religion which can be hid away and held in secret. The passionate love which breathes in this psalm must have vent or die. There is here no coming to the Lord by night, or being secretly a disciple for fear of the Jews, but the psalm is an open, full, joyous confession of the soul's delight in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:1-13

How and why Jehovah is to be worshipped. I. WITH A NEW SONG . ( Psalms 96:1 .) Praise that shall celebrate the new revelation of himself, which he is about to make in a new era of the world. Constantly new revelation. II. BY CELEBRATING THE SAVING WORK WHICH GOD IS DOING IN THE WORLD . ( Psalms 96:2 .) His coming to judge the people righteously, and thus to save them. Saving men every day. III. BY PUBLISHING HIS CHARACTER AND WORK ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:2

Sing unto the Lord, bless his Name (cf. Psalms 100:4 ; Psalms 145:1 , Psalms 145:10 , Psalms 145:21 , etc.). Show forth his salvation from day to day; or, publish his salvation ( εὐαγγελίζεσθε , LXX .); i.e. "make it known"—"spread the good tidings." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:3

Declare his glory among the heathen. Publish God's praise, not only in Israel, but to the ends of the earth. Let all mankind hear the joyful news (comp. Psalms 2:8 ; Psalms 47:1 , Psalms 47:8 ; Psalms 138:4 ). His wonders among all people; rather, among all the peoples; i.e. "all the nations of the earth" (see Psalms 96:7 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:3

The spirit of missionary work. Amongst the brighter signs of the times in which we live must be reckoned the universal anxiety, now in so many ways manifested, on the part of Christian people for the spread of the message of Christ's salvation both at home and abroad. The whole psalm overflows with thankfulness and delight, and in it is found this summons to missionary work. Now, in a human composition we should say that it was unskilled and lacking in true art if there were introduced an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:3

The law of Christian missions. The "heathen" of the Old Testament match the "Gentiles" of the New Testament. "Gentiles," as our Lord used the term, means "those who do not know of God as the Father in heaven." And "heathen" means "those who do not know God as the One, the Spiritual, and the Holy." But in referring such an expression as this to missions, we are using for our purpose the language, not precisely discerning the psalmist's meaning. In desiring that God's glory should be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 96:1

O sing unto the Lord a new song - See the notes at Psalms 33:3. This is the only addition made to the original form of the psalm. The word new here implies that there was some fresh occasion for celebrating the praises of God; that some event had occurred, or that some truth relating to the divine character had now been made known, which could not well be expressed in any psalm or hymn then in use. It is a call on all to celebrate the praises of the Lord in a “new” song - new, particularly, as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 96:2

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name - This verse is substantially the same as 1 Chronicles 16:23; “Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.”Show forth his salvation - His interposition; the fact that he has saved or delivered us. This may have referred originally in particular to what he had done to save the people in time of danger, but the language is such also as to express salvation in a higher sense - salvation from sin and death. As such it may be... read more
