Psalms 98:1

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

O sing unto the Lord a new song (comp. Psalms 96:1-13; which opens similarly). The faithful and wise steward is ever bringing out of his treasures things which are at once old and "new." For he hath done marvellous things.

The "marvellous things" which God has done for man constitute the first ground for praising him. These marvels may be either those of his ordinary providence, or special interpositions and deliverances.

His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory; rather, hath wrought salvation for him (see the Revised Version; and comp. Isaiah 59:16; Isaiah 63:5).
