Psalm 98:1-3 BSB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 98:1-3

We are here called upon again to sing unto the Lord a new song, as before, Ps. 96:1. ?Sing a most excellent song, the best song you have.? Let the song of Christ's love be like Solomon's on that subject, a song of songs. A song of praise for redeeming love is a new song, such a song as had not been sung before; for this is a mystery which was hidden from ages and generations. Converts sing a new song, very different from what they had sung; they change their wonder and change their joy, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:1

O sing unto the Lord a new song ,.... An excellent one unto the Lord Christ, on account of the great work of redemption and salvation wrought out by him; and because of the new and living way opened by him, and because of the new dispensation of the Gospel, which takes place through him, and for the reasons next mentioned; See Gill on Psalm 96:1 , for he hath done marvellous things ; by assuming human nature, in that he, being God, became man, took flesh of a virgin, even pure and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:2

The Lord hath made known his salvation ,.... Which was appointed him, he undertook, came to perform, and has effected; this, though wrought out, is unknown to men, especially to the Gentile world, who had no prophecy, promise, or revelation of the Messiah, and salvation by him; but now this is made known in the everlasting Gospel, called therefore the Gospel of salvation, and by the ministers of it; and, besides this, the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ, and his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 98:3

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel ,.... His mercy promised them, in raising up a Saviour to them, one that should be the glory of them; and his truth, in fulfilling that and every other promise concerning him; see Luke 1:72 , all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God ; either Christ himself, who is the salvation or Saviour of God's appointing, providing, and sending; or the salvation which he has wrought out, the Gospel declaring... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:1

A new song - A song of excellence. Give him the highest praise. See on Psalm 96:1 ; (note). Hath done marvellous things - נפלאות niphlaoth , "miracles," the same word as in Psalm 96:3 , where we translate it wonders. His holy arm - His Almighty power: - Hath gotten him the victory - לו הושיעה hoshiah llo , "hath made salvation to himself." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:2

Made known his salvation - He has delivered his people in such a way as to show that it was supernatural, and that their confidence in the unseen God was not in vain. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:3

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:1

Verse 1 1Sing unto Jehovah a new song I have already remarked, that the expression here used denotes an extraordinary, not a common, ascription of praise. This appears from the reason assigned for it, That God had manifested his salvation in a singular and incredible manner. For having spoken of marvelous things, he represents this as the sum of all, that God had procured salvation with his own right hand; (108) that is, not by human means, or in an ordinary way, but delivering his Church in an... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 98:3

Verse 3 3He hath remembered his goodness Having spoken of the general manifestation of his salvation, he now celebrates his goodness more particularly to his own chosen people. God exhibited himself as a Father to Gentiles as well as Jews; but to the Jews first, who were, so to speak, the first-born. (109) The glory of the Gentiles lay in their being adopted and in-grafted into the holy family of Abraham, and the salvation of the whole world sprung from the promise made to Abraham, as Christ... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 98:1

O sing unto the Lord a new song (comp. Psalms 96:1-13 ; which opens similarly). The faithful and wise steward is ever bringing out of his treasures things which are at once old and "new." For he hath done marvellous things. The "marvellous things" which God has done for man constitute the first ground for praising him. These marvels may be either those of his ordinary providence, or special interpositions and deliverances. His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory;... read more
