Psalms 149:1-3. Sing unto the Lord a new song For these new mercies conferred upon us, denied to former times. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him That made them not only his creatures, but, which is unspeakably greater, his people; or, that advanced them to, and adorned them with, singular privileges, as the word עשׁה , here used, is understood 1 Samuel 12:6, and elsewhere.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 149:1-9

Psalms 147-150 Praise the LordGod’s people should praise him constantly for his merciful and loving care: his care over them in particular (147:1-2), his care over those who sorrow (3), his care over all his creation (4), and his special care for the downtrodden (5-6). God delights to provide for the physical needs of his creatures (7-9). But of all his creatures, those he delights in most are those who humbly trust in his steadfast love (10-11).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 149:1

The facts noted here, "Have encouraged a hostile attitude toward Psalms 149 as though anything said in its... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 149:1

Psalms 149:0. The prophet exhorteth to praise God for his love to the church, and for that power which he hath given to it.

Psalms 149:1. A new song— St. Chrysostome commenting on this place gives us an account of the meaning of a new song, which,... read more
