Ad Fontes: A New Song for a New Exodus in Book IV of the Psalter? Rev. Dr. Adam Hensley

A source of inspiration for hymn-writers for millennia, the Psalter calls us to “sing to the Lord a new song!” What song? What’s “new” about it? Who leads it? This presentation addresses such questions by examining Book IV of the Psalter. It explores the striking affinities between Psalms 93-100 and Moses’ Song of the Sea (Exodus 15), and Psalms 101-106 as they shift focus to “David,” the Messianic King, as a Moses-like leader of a new exodus and of its “new song.” The presentation also considers how these themes carry forward into Book V (e.g., Psalms 110, 145, 149).
