“Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.”
The shift to a hymn of praise—'Sing to Yahweh a new song; his praise from the end of the earth'—celebrates God's new work through universal chorus. The summons to 'new song' indicates recognition of unprecedented divine action; the old songs of Israel's history no longer suffice for the new restoration. The extension of praise 'from the end of the earth' includes all creation in celebration, suggesting that God's restoration work encompasses universal significance. This verse marks the transition from servant designation to anticipated celebration of liberation.
