Psalms 149:1
New song. God desires His saints to renew their spiritual experience day by day (see Luke 9:23; 2 Cor. 4:16). With each renewed consecration should come a new song. Inasmuch as God’s mercies are new to us every morning, our gratitude and thanksgiving should be new also. Saints. Heb. chasidim (see Additional Note on Ps. 36).
