Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. I will sing a new song ] A song of peculiar excellence. I will pour forth all my gratitude, and all my skill, on its composition. See on Psa. xxxiii. 2, 3.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - Fresh favours call for fresh returns of thanks; we must praise God for the mercies we hope for by his promise, as well as those we have received by his providence. To be saved from the hurtful sword, or from wasting sickness, without deliverance from the dominion of sin and the wrath to come, is but a small advantage. The public prosperity Davi desired for his people, is stated. It adds much to the comfort an happiness of parents in this world, to see their children likely to d well. To see them as plants, not as weeds, not as thorns; to see the as plants growing, not withered and blasted; to see them likely to bring forth fruit unto God in their day; to see them in their yout growing strong in the Spirit. Plenty is to be desired, that we may be thankful to God, generous to our friends, and charitable to the poor otherwise, what profit is it to have our garners full? Also uninterrupted peace. War brings abundance of mischiefs, whether it be to attack others or to defend ourselves. And in proportion as we do no adhere to the worship and service of God, we cease to be a happ people. The subjects of the Saviour, the Son of David, share the blessings of his authority and victories, and are happy because the have the Lord for their God _________________________________________________
