Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Only the righteous can truly praise God, for unbelievers who have never tasted His goodness cannot speak His glory from the heart. When the ungodly attempt this exercise, they profane His holy name rather than honor it.
AI summary
Commenting on Psalm 33:1-22
Sing unto Him, not to the winds; every hymn must carry your tribute to the King. We run in grooves, offering worn-out praise, but God gives new mercies daily, put life and soul into every song. Play skillfully, for slovenly worship is wretched; the sweetest tunes and voices are all too little for the Lord our God.
AI summary
Holy joy must stir in the heart first, then break forth in praise, that is the life of all our worship. Sing Him new songs, not worn-out ones; use both mind and feeling, both skill and fervor. Praise is the very ornament and comeliness that befits the righteous.
