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 Gill

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

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

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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 98:1

Jehovah's victories. This psalm is almost an echo of Psalms 96:1-13 ; and, like that, tells of the triumphant issue of the Lord's great battle. No doubt the psalmist had some special event in the history of God's people in his mind—some glorious victory given to them; but his words here bring to our thoughts God's spiritual victories, far larger and wider triumphs than any that Israel ever knew. Consider, therefore— I. THE VICTORIES OF THE LORD WHICH THIS PSALM ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 98:1

The Lord's victory. "His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory." This is to be treated as a joy song of the returned Exiles, who regarded themselves as delivered and restored, because their God had fought for them, overcome all their foes, and mastered all their hindrances and difficulties. It was not their right hand that had gotten them the victory. It was God's right hand that had gotten him the victory, of which they were permitted to reap the full benefit. This... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 98:1-9

Universal salvation. "The last great revelation, the final victory of God, when his salvation and his righteousness, the revelation of which he has promised to the house of Israel, shall be manifested both to his own people and to all the nations of the earth." I. GOD HAS REVEALED A GREAT SALVATION FOR THE WORLD . ( Psalms 98:1-3 .) Distinguished by three great things. 1 . Righteousness. ( Psalms 98:2 .) Reveals his righteousness in and by means of Christ in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 98:1

O sing unto the Lord a new song - Compare Psalms 33:3; Psalms 96:1. “For he hath done marvelous things.” Things suited to excite wonder, or to fill the mind with astonishment. See Psalms 77:14; Psalms 86:10.His right hand - The instrument by which we execute any purpose. Compare Isaiah 59:16; Isaiah 63:5.And his holy arm - The arm of his holiness; that is, his arm put forth in a righteous cause, or vindicating that which is right.Hath gotten him the victory - literally, “has worked salvation... read more
