a hymn of praise to our God
A hymn of praise is a structured form of worship that acknowledges God's attributes and deeds. In ancient Israel, hymns were integral to worship, often sung in the temple or during religious festivals. This phrase underscores the communal aspect of worship, as "our God" indicates a shared faith among the people of Israel. The use of "hymn" connects to the rich tradition of Hebrew poetry and music, which played a crucial role in expressing devotion and teaching theology.

Many will see and fear
This part of the verse highlights the evangelistic impact of personal testimony. When others witness God's transformative work in an individual's life, it can lead to reverence and awe. The word "fear" in this context is not about terror but a profound respect and recognition of God's power and holiness. This concept is echoed inActs 2:43, where the early church's actions led to awe among the people. The visibility of God's work in believers serves as a testament to His reality and sovereignty.

and put their trust in the LORD
The ultimate goal of witnessing God's work is to lead others to trust in Him. Trust in the LORD is a central theme throughout scripture, emphasizing reliance on God's faithfulness and promises.Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages believers to trust in the LORD with all their heart, highlighting the importance of faith in the life of a believer. This trust is not passive but involves active dependence and obedience, reflecting a relationship built on confidence in God's character and His covenant with His people.

• The initiative is entirely God’s; He “put” the song there, showing that renewed worship springs from His saving work (Psalm 98:1;2 Corinthians 5:17).

• “New” signals a fresh experience of deliverance, not a recycled tune of self-effort (Exodus 15:1 after the Red Sea;Revelation 14:3).

• The “mouth” matters—internal gratitude becomes audible witness (Psalm 71:15–16;Romans 10:10).

• Every rescue invites a fresh anthem, keeping our praise current with His mercies (Lamentations 3:22–23).

• The song’s content is worship, not self-congratulation (Psalm 29:2).

• “Our God” reminds us that praise is communal; what He does for one strengthens faith for all (Psalm 34:3;Colossians 3:16).

• Structured praise (“hymn”) anchors emotion in truth, marrying heartfelt gratitude with sound doctrine (Psalm 33:1–3;Hebrews 13:15).

• Worship becomes visible testimony; others “see” the change before they “hear” it (Matthew 5:16;Acts 4:13).

• “Fear” is reverent awe, the proper response when God’s power is displayed (Psalm 52:6;Acts 2:43).

• Authentic praise turns spectators into seekers by revealing the reality of God’s intervention (Psalm 126:2).

• Testimony leads to faith; what God did for the psalmist He is willing to do for “many” (Psalm 34:8;Acts 16:31).

• Trust shifts from self-reliance to resting in the LORD’s character and promises (Proverbs 3:5–6;Romans 10:17).

• The verse sketches a chain reaction: divine rescue → grateful praise → public witness → new believers.

God’s deliverance plants a fresh song in His child’s mouth, turning private rescue into public praise. That God-given melody awakens awe in onlookers and invites them to place their confidence in the LORD, multiplying faith across the community. When He saves, we sing—and our singing becomes a conduit through which others learn to trust the same faithful God.

Shall see it and fear.--Comp.Psalm 52:6, where there is plainly a reminiscence of this passage.
