Psalms 33:3

“Sing unto him a new song, etc.] One newly composed on account of recent mercies received; and as the mercies of God are new every morning, there ought to be a daily song of praise to him; and so a new song is a continual song, as Christ is called the “new and living way”, (<581020>Hebrews 10:20); because he is the everliving way; or the constant and only one, which always was, is, and will be. Or it may denote some famous and excellent song, as a new name is an excellent name, an unknown and unspeakable one; (see <660217>Revelation 2:17); compared with (<661402>Revelation 14:2,3); or respect may be had to the New Testament dispensation, in which old things are passed away, and all things…”

“a new song--fresh, adapted to the occasion (Psa 40:3; Psa 96:1). play skilfully--(Compare Sa1 16:17).”

“Sing unto him a new song - A song specially composed for this occasion; expressive of the special feelings suggested by this occasion, or appropriate to this new manifestation of the divine goodness and mercy. Such occasions, exhibiting some new phase of the divine goodness, demanded new language appropriate to them. So now, new hymns of praise, and new tunes in music, are demanded to meet the ever-varying manifestations of the mercy of God; and as the church is extended in the world, its modes of praise must be adapted to the new state of things which will arise. Nothing could be more absurd than to attempt to restrict the church in its praises to the exact words which were used in the time…”
