The act of singing is a common form of worship in the Bible, seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/96.htm">Psalm 96</a> and <a href="/psalms/98.htm">Psalm 98</a>, which echo similar themes. The invitation to "all the earth" reflects the inclusivity of God's kingdom, foreshadowing the Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>, where Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations. This universality is also seen in the prophetic vision of <a href="/isaiah/45-22.htm">Isaiah 45:22</a>, where all ends of the earth are called to turn to God and be saved. The phrase underscores the belief that God's glory and majesty are to be recognized by all creation, aligning with the eschatological vision in <a href="/revelation/5-13.htm">Revelation 5:13</a>, where every creature in heaven and on earth praises God.<p><b>Proclaim His salvation day after day.</b><br>The call to "proclaim His salvation" emphasizes the importance of continually sharing the message of God's deliverance. In the historical context, this refers to the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt and their ongoing relationship with God, as seen in the Exodus narrative. The phrase "day after day" suggests a perpetual and consistent declaration, highlighting the enduring nature of God's salvation. This is mirrored in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to share the gospel consistently, as seen in <a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>, where the disciples are called to be witnesses "to the ends of the earth." The concept of salvation here can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's saving work, as described in passages like <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a> and <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>.

This psalm, in the Psalter, consists of five strophes or stanzas of six lines each--an artistic arrangement which has been violated here. The subject is the extension of Jehovah's kingdom over all the world, a thought familiar to the readers of the Book of Isaiah, where most of the ideas and phrases of the psalm may be found.<p>(23) <span class= "bld">Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.</span>--The second line of the psalm. The spirited opening of the psalm is purposely weakened, by omission of the first and third lines, in order to make it fit in here. Strophe I. is thus compressed into four lines (<a href="/context/1_chronicles/16-23.htm" title="Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.">1Chronicles 16:23-24</a>).<p><span class= "bld">All the earth.</span>--<span class= "ital">All the land</span> (of Israel).<p><span class= "bld">Shew forth.</span>--Heb., <span class= "ital">tell the</span> (good) <span class= "ital">news of.</span><p><span class= "bld">His salvation.</span>--<span class= "ital">Deliverance</span> (from exile).<p>(24) <span class= "bld">Heathen.</span>--<span class= "ital">Nations</span> (<a href="/1_chronicles/16-31.htm" title="Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigns.">1Chronicles 16:31</a>).<p>(25-27) Strophe II. of the psalm.
