Commentary on Psalms 144:9

Theological / Devotional

New song. The psalmist turns from the false to adore that which is true. Weary of earthly liars and deceivers, he turns to God with a new song—a fresh song of praise. His hand also would assist his tongue, for he would employ an instrument of ten strings as his accompaniment.

Psaltery. See p. 33.

Instrument of ten strings. See p. 36.
