In biblical context, a "new song" frequently signifies a response to God's redemptive acts (<a href="/psalms/96.htm">Psalm 96:1</a>, <a href="/revelation/5-9.htm">Revelation 5:9</a>). It reflects the anticipation of the Messiah's coming and the establishment of His kingdom, which brings about a new covenant and a renewed relationship with God.<p><b>His praise from the ends of the earth—</b><br>This emphasizes the universal scope of God's glory and the call for all nations to recognize and worship Him. The phrase "ends of the earth" suggests the inclusion of Gentiles in the worship of Yahweh, a theme that is further developed in the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>, <a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>). It points to the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>).<p><b>you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the maritime regions and those who travel or live by the sea. In ancient times, the sea was often seen as a place of chaos and mystery, yet here it is called to join in the praise of God, indicating His sovereignty over all creation. The mention of the sea and its contents can also symbolize the vastness and diversity of God's creation, all of which are called to worship Him (<a href="/psalms/148-7.htm">Psalm 148:7</a>).<p><b>you islands, and all who dwell in them.</b><br>The reference to islands signifies distant lands and peoples, further emphasizing the global reach of God's salvation and the call for all humanity to worship Him. In the ancient Near Eastern context, islands were often seen as remote and isolated, yet they too are included in the call to praise. This foreshadows the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles and the inclusion of all peoples in God's redemptive plan (<a href="/isaiah/49.htm">Isaiah 49:1</a>, <a href="/acts/13-47.htm">Acts 13:47</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure of worship in this verse, calling for a new song of praise.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a></b><br>Represents the vastness of creation and the people who travel or live by it.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_islands.htm">The Islands</a></b><br>Symbolic of distant lands and peoples, emphasizing the global call to worship.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_ends_of_the_earth.htm">The Ends of the Earth</a></b><br>A phrase indicating the universal scope of God's call to praise.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who delivered this message, speaking to the people of Israel and beyond.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_worship.htm">The Call to Worship</a></b><br>God invites all creation to join in a new song of praise, emphasizing the importance of worship in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/global_scope_of_god's_kingdom.htm">Global Scope of God's Kingdom</a></b><br>The mention of the sea and islands highlights the universal reach of God's message, encouraging us to think beyond our immediate surroundings.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/renewal_in_worship.htm">Renewal in Worship</a></b><br>A "new song" suggests freshness and renewal in our worship practices, challenging us to avoid stagnation in our spiritual lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/i/inclusivity_in_praise.htm">Inclusivity in Praise</a></b><br>The call to the "ends of the earth" reminds us that God's invitation to worship is for all people, regardless of background or location.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/prophetic_fulfillment.htm">Prophetic Fulfillment</a></b><br>Isaiah's prophecy points to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, encouraging us to see the continuity of God's plan through Scripture.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_isaiah_42.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 42</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_for_isaiah_42_10-12's_global_praise.htm">Where is the scientific or archeological evidence supporting Isaiah 42:10–12’s claim of global praise to this servant? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'male_and_female'_mean.htm">What is the meaning of 'Sing to the Lord a New Song'?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what's_the_meaning_of_'sing_to_the_lord'.htm">What is the meaning of "Sing to the Lord a New Song"?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_the_psalmist_say_'ends_of_earth'.htm">How can the psalmist (Ps 61:2) claim to cry out “from the ends of the earth” when historically his travels were limited to a specific region? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/42.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">Sing unto the Lord a new song.</span>--The words are familiar in the Psalms (<a href="/psalms/33-3.htm" title="Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.">Psalm 33:3</a>; <a href="/psalms/40-3.htm" title="And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.">Psalm 40:3</a>; <a href="/psalms/98-1.htm" title="O sing to the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, has gotten him the victory.">Psalm 98:1</a>) and are probably quoted from them. The only touch of definite localisation is found in the mention of Kedar. (See Note on <a href="/isaiah/21-16.htm" title="For thus has the LORD said to me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:">Isaiah 21:16</a>.) Starting from this, the other terms gain a more defined significance. The proclamation seems to be addressed to the nations of the Eastern, not the Western world, as if to the ships that sailed from Elath or Ezion-geber down the Elanitic Gulf. The rock, or Sela (see <a href="/isaiah/16-1.htm" title="Send you the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.">Isaiah 16:1</a>), is the Petra of Roman Idumaea; the ships are those that trade to Ophir or the land of Sinim. The cities and the nomad tribes are all invited to join in the hymn of praise, and it is to be echoed in the far-off "islands," or <span class= "ital">coasts, </span>of the Indian Ocean.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/42.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Sing unto the Lord a new song</span>. The call for a "new song" is based upon the ground that the mercy vouchsafed was a "new" one (see ver. 9). The expression is frequent in the Psalms (<a href="/psalms/33-3.htm">Psalm 33:3</a>; <a href="/psalms/96-1.htm">Psalm 96:1</a>; <a href="/psalms/98-1.htm">Psalm 98:1</a>; <a href="/psalms/144-9.htm">Psalm 144:9</a>; <a href="/psalms/149-1.htm">Psalm 149:1</a>). <span class="cmt_word">His praise from the end of the earth</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> "let his praise be sung by all the inhabitants of the earth to its remotest bounds." <span class="cmt_word">The sea</span>. Sea and land are called upon equally to proclaim God's praise; the sea, "and its fulness" (margin) - those who frequent it in ships, and those who dwell on its shores and islands. The last clause, "the isles and the inhabitants thereof," is exegetical of the preceding one - " all that is therein." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/42-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Sing</span><br /><span class="heb">שִׁ֤ירוּ</span> <span class="translit">(šî·rū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
