961 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
961 Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
961 Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!
961 Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing!
961 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
961 Sing a new song to the Lord ! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord !
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 96:1
Commentary on Psalm 96:1-9
(Read Psalm 96:1-9)
When Christ finished his work on earth, and was received into his glory in heaven, the church began to sing a new song unto him, and to bless his name. His apostles and evangelists showed forth his salvation among the heathen, his wonders among all people. All the earth is here summoned to worship the Lord. We must worship him in the beauty of holiness, as God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. Glorious things are said of him, both as motives to praise and matter of praise.
