Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
This exhortation is directed to all nations, not Israel alone, which proves it concerns Christ's kingdom. The heathen were mute and deaf to God until the Gospel spread the knowledge of Him everywhere; the Spirit stirred the saints under the Law to praise God until that day came.

Commenting on Psalm 96:1-13
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name. Thrice is the name of the Lord repeated, and not without meaning. Is it not unto the Three One Lord that the enlightened nations will sing? Unitarianism is the religion of units; it is too cold to warm the world to worship; the sacred fire of adoration only burns with vehement flame where the Trinity is believed in and beloved.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, a song for new favours, born of new affections in renewed hearts. Let all the earth sing it, not the Jews only; this is Gospel song, suited to the new covenant and the precious privileges that came with it, never to wax old.
