Praise the Lord in His house
Praise the Lord in His house
We are almost at the last Psalm, and still among the Hallelujahs. This is "a new song", evidently intended for the new creation, and the men who are of new heart. It is such a song as may be sung at the coming of the Lord, when the new dispensation shall bring overthrow to the wicked and honour to all the saints. The tone is exceedingly jubilant and exultant. All through one hears the beat of the feet of dancing maidens, keeping time to the timbrel and harp. —Charles Spurgeon
VERSE 1 God is our Savior
Praise with a new song
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Psalm
Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
Isaiah 65:
“Return, you backsliding children,
And I will heal your backslidings.”
“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
And from the multitude of mountains;
Truly, in the Lord our God
Is the salvation of Israel.
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations
And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Revelation
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
Praise with fellow saints
VERSE 2 God is our Maker and King
Israel is to rejoice
Israel is to be joyful
VERSE 3
Praise Him with the dance
Praise Him with the timbrel and harp
Exodus 15:
Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them:
“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”
VERSE 4
God takes pleasure in His people
He beautify’s the humble
Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them:
“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”
Exodus 15:20
Praise the Lord at home
Praise the Lord at home
Saints praise with glorious joy
Saints sing on their beds (sick or well)
Their exultation should express itself in shouts and songs, for it is not a feeling of which they have any need to be ashamed. —Charles Spurgeon
Praise the Lord in the battlefield
Praise the Lord in the battlefield
VERSE 6
High praises in their mouth
A sword in their hand
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
VERSES 7-9
All evil shall eventually be overthrown: the Lord shall display his justice against evildoers, and in that warfare his servants shall play their parts. The saints shall judge the world. Both the conflict and the victory at the end of it shall cause glory to God, and honour to his holy ones. —Charles Spurgeon
VERSE 8
The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
