He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
The verses that preceed this one are important to keep in mind to put this into context:
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
Isn't it true that out of the slimiest pits come the greatest praises? Whether the mud or mire we're experiencing is a difficult trial or a consequence of sin, God is always there to make things new. He puts a new song in our mouths and even though we might have made a mess of things, what's even more incredible is that our lives can actually be used as a witness to others.
What an amazing, powerful God we serve! He is the author of all restoration and redemption, even when we're broken or covered in dirt and stuck in a rut. There is no situation too hard for him, no one too far gone for Him to save. All we have to do is cry out to Him and then wait patiently...which might be the most challenging part about these verses!
