Psaume 144:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 144:9

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God
The author of his being, the Father of mercies, temporal and spiritual, and therefore to him praise is always due; a new song of praise is to be sung for new mercies; and as these are new every morning, and are renewed day by day, new songs should be sung continually: or this is a song suited to New Testament times, in which all things are become new; there is a new covenant of grace; and a new and living way to the throne of grace; a newly slain sacrifice; redemption newly wrought out, and therefore the new song of redeeming grace must be sung. Arama suggests that this refers to the days of the Messiah; upon a psaltery, [and] an instrument of ten strings, will I sing
praises unto thee;
such instruments of music were used in the Old Testament dispensation, and were typical of the hearts of God's people; which are the harps they now strike upon, and where they make melody to the Lord; see ( Psalms 33:2 ) ( 92:3 ) .

Psaume 144:9 In-Context

7 Étends tes mains d'en haut, délivre-moi, et me retire des grandes eaux, de la main du fils de l'étranger;

8 Dont la bouche profère le mensonge, et dont la droite est une droite trompeuse.

9 O Dieu, je te chanterai un cantique nouveau; je te célébrerai sur la lyre à dix cordes,

10 Toi qui donnes la délivrance aux rois, qui sauves David, ton serviteur, de l'épée meurtrière.

11 Délivre-moi, et me retire de la main des fils de l'étranger, dont la bouche profère le mensonge, et dont la droite est une droite trompeuse.
