Psalm 98:1–3: 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. The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
The psalmist invited his readers to sing to the Lord a new song because in His strength (right hand and arm are symbols of power). He has provided salvation and revealed His righteousness. God’s great salvation is possible because of His loyal love and faithfulness. 1
