"O sing to the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things: His right hand, and His holy arm, has gotten Him the victory. The LORD has made known His salvation: His righteousness has He openly showed in the sight of the heathen. (v. 1)
The work of our redemption and salvation by Christ is a wonder. Looking back at all the steps of it, from the beginning of His communion with man, to His death, burial, and resurrection, to the spread of His gospel throughout the world, until it finally reached us and took root in our hearts - What shall we say except that, "God has done marvelous things", and has put a “new song” of salvation on our lips.
God, by his own power, has overcome all difficulties and enemies, and has, in spite of all opposition, raised Christ from the dead, and set Him upon his throne. Therefore, sing to the Lord a “new song” for the glorious salvation He has brought. Sing songs of joy and thanksgiving for the victory He has given us in Christ.
Hallelujah! Our God regins.
The Truth: “Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day His salvation. Declare His glory among the heathen; His marvelous works among all nations. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised.” (1 Chronicles 16:23-25a)
