Sing to the LORD a new song
The phrase "Sing to the LORD a new song" calls for a fresh expression of worship and praise to God. The Hebrew word for "sing" is "שִׁירוּ" (shiru), which is an imperative, urging the people to vocalize their adoration. The concept of a "new song" suggests a renewal or a fresh outpouring of gratitude and recognition of God's ongoing work and revelation. Historically, new songs were often composed to commemorate significant acts of God, such as victories or deliverances. This call to sing a new song reflects the anticipation of God's redemptive work through the coming Messiah, which is a central theme in Isaiah.

His praise from the ends of the earth
The phrase "His praise from the ends of the earth" emphasizes the universal scope of God's glory and the call for all creation to acknowledge His sovereignty. The Hebrew word for "praise" is "תְּהִלָּתוֹ" (tehillato), which denotes a form of worship that is both vocal and public. The "ends of the earth" signifies the farthest reaches of the world, indicating that God's majesty is not confined to Israel but extends to all nations. This reflects the prophetic vision of a time when all peoples will recognize and worship the one true God, aligning with the Great Commission in the New Testament.

you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it
The phrase "you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it" includes those who travel by sea and the creatures within it. The sea often symbolizes chaos and the unknown in ancient Near Eastern literature, yet here it is called to join in the praise of God. This inclusion of the sea and its inhabitants highlights God's dominion over all creation, both land and sea. It also reflects the historical context of Israel as a nation with maritime connections, acknowledging the breadth of God's creation and His authority over it.

you islands, and all who dwell in them
The phrase "you islands, and all who dwell in them" extends the call to praise to the distant and isolated lands. In the ancient world, islands were often seen as remote and mysterious, yet they too are invited to join in the worship of God. This underscores the theme of inclusivity and the reach of God's salvation to the most distant parts of the earth. The mention of islands can also be seen as a metaphor for the Gentile nations, indicating the prophetic vision of the Gospel reaching all corners of the world, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed.

(10) Sing unto the Lord a new song.--The words are familiar in the Psalms (Psalm 33:3; Psalm 40:3; Psalm 98:1) and are probably quoted from them. The only touch of definite localisation is found in the mention of Kedar. (See Note on Isaiah 21:16.) 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 Isaiah 16:1), 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 coasts, of the Indian Ocean.

Verse 10. - Sing unto the Lord a new song. 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 (Psalm 33:3; Psalm 96:1; Psalm 98:1; Psalm 144:9; Psalm 149:1). His praise from the end of the earth; i.e. "let his praise be sung by all the inhabitants of the earth to its remotest bounds." The sea. 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."
