Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. He hath remembered his mercy ] His gracious promises to their forefathers.
And his truth ] Faithfully accomplishing what he had promised. All this was fulfilled under the Gospel.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - A song of praise for redeeming love is a new song, a mystery hidde from ages and generations. Converts sing a new song, very differen from what they had sung. If the grace of God put a new heart into ou breasts, it will put a new song into our mouths. Let this new song be sung to the praise of God, in consideration of the wonders he ha wrought. The Redeemer has overcome all difficulties in the way of ou redemption, and was not discouraged by the services or suffering appointed him. Let us praise him for the discoveries made to the worl of the work of redemption; his salvation and his righteousnes fulfilling the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament. I pursuance of this design, God raised up his Son Jesus to be not only Light to lighten the Gentiles, but the glory of his people Israel Surely it behoves us to inquire whether his holy arm hath gotten the victory in our hearts, over the power of Satan, unbelief, and sin? I this be our happy case, we shall exchange all light songs of vanity for songs of joy and thanksgiving; our lives will celebrate the Redeemer' praise.
