A Song for a New Season
Commentators explain that the "new song" is a fresh, powerful expression of praise born from a specific, profound deliverance. When God pulls you from a "horrible pit," as the previous verse describes, He gives you a new testimony. This song is not meant to be kept private but sung aloud to celebrate the unique way God has worked in your life.
