3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God. At the Passover, before his passion, our Lord sang one of the grand old
psalms of praise; but what is the music of his heart now, in the midst of his
redeemed! Sin o’erthrown and righteousness resplendent—what a theme for a hymn
when our Lord drinks the red wine new with us all in our Father’s kingdom! OurGod. How will we praise him; Jesus will lead the solemn hallelujah
which goes up from the host redeemed by blood. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. A
multitude that no man can number will see the griefs and triumphs of Jesus,
will tremble because of their sinful rejection of him, and then through grace
will receive faith and become trusters in Jehovah. Here is our Lord’s reward.
Here is the assurance which makes preachers bold and workers persevering. Note
the way of salvation, a sight, a fear, a trust! Do you know what these mean by
possessing and practicing them in your own soul? Trusting in the Lord is the
evidence, indeed the essence of salvation. The true believer is evidently
redeemed from the dominion of sin and Satan.
