Psalm 98:1-9
（Memorization Scripture 1,4-5）
1 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.
2 The Lord has made known His salvation;
His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.
5 Sing to the Lord with the harp, With the harp and the sound of a psalm,
6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn; Shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell in it;
8 Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together
9 before the Lord,For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world,
And the peoples with equity.

【Reflection】"Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things! His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him." (Verse 1) Praise the Lord, for it is God who allows us to sing a new song to Him. He is our God, the one who does marvelous things. His works among the Israelites were marvelous, and similarly, through His Son Jesus Christ, God has accomplished marvelous salvation in us as well. The name of the Lord Jesus is "Wonderful" (Isaiah 9:6). From His incarnation, His life on earth, His sacrifice on the cross, His resurrection and ascension, to His second coming and judgment, God's salvation is filled with wonders.
God has not only completed salvation before the creation, but He also works His new salvation in our lives every day, delivering us from every situation and the bondage of sin, so that we may be saved from God's righteous judgment. The "new" song comes from our fresh experiences of God's salvation. "His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning." (Lamentations 3:23) Let us diligently capture the new works of God's salvation in our lives, count His grace, rejoice and sing a "new" song to the Lord.
