We continue with Pesukeh Bitachon that start with a Vav . Todays pasuk is Tehilim 40,4 וַיִּתֵּ֬ן בְּפִ֨י ׀ שִׁ֥יר חָדָשׁ֮ תְּהִלָּ֢ה לֵאלֹ֫הֵ֥ינוּ יִרְא֣וּ רַבִּ֣ים וְיִירָ֑אוּ וְ֝יִבְטְח֗וּ בַּיהֹוָֽה Hashem put into my mouth a new song, Praise to our God. Many people will see this and become fearful of Hashem and will rely on Hashem. What is this new song that God puts in my mouth, and why does it say Praise to our God? It should say Praise to my God . Additionally, what does it mean that many people will see this and fear Hashem and rely on Him? The Radak explains simply that when God saves me from a challenge, by doing this kindness to me, which I have a responsibility to thank Him for, it's like He put a song into my mouth. God didn't put the song in my mouth, but God saved me, and that puts the responsibility upon me to sing a new song to Him. So, whenever something out of the ordinary happens, we have to, so to say, create a song. What is meant by a new song? The Radak says, Man has a responsibility to sing a new song for every miracle that happens. It's not enough to say thank you. A whole new presentation has to be done, like a hit single from the new album. We have to do that every time something extraordinary happens. That's why people make a Seudat Hodaah . But it's not enough just to make the party. You have to sing the song. Why does it say our God? Because it's not enough just to be on your own and say thank you. People must be present to praise our God. We have to praise Hashem to a crowd. And then that crowd will say, “ Wow! Look how He saved you! Look how He took care of you!” And they will also come to rely on Hashem. That's our responsibility, whenever something happens-we have to sing a song. Rav Sadok says, what are these new miracles? The miracles that happen to us every single day. Every day, miracles happen. There's a famous explanation that the food of the Korban Todah/Thank you Korban had to be eaten in just one day whereas other Korbanot could be eaten for two days. Two reasons are given, both of which connect to our pasuk. Reason number one is that there were 40 loaves of bread in this Korban . How can you possibly finish 40 loaves of bread in one day? The answer is that you have to invite other people so that we should thank God with the masses. That is lesson #1 The second reason it needs to be eaten in one day is that- How could I eat this offering for two days? It’s for today's miracle. Tomorrow is for tomorrow's miracle. Every day needs a new song, for every day has new miracles. That's the concept of Shira Hadasha: New Song. Furthermore, our rabbis tell us, Shira Hadasha is used in the following context. When nature goes on automatic pilot, so to say, and the sun rises and sets, that’s not called a Shir Hadash . That's called a Shir Yashan because it’s just the same old, same old. Hashem wants a Shir Hadash when we see something happen in our life that is extraordinary. That deserves a Shir Hadash . Every day we say Shira Hadasha, a new song, those that will redeem, will sing. That is Az Yashir, and it refers to when Mashiach comes. Where do we get this term, the new song ? The Avudarham says it’s from Tehilim 40,4. וַיִּתֵּ֬ן בְּפִ֨י ׀ שִׁ֥יר חָדָשׁ֮ Hashem put into my mouth a new song It’s not an old song. Yes, there are golden oldies. But we also need those new hit singles, for the fresh new miracles that just happened to us. Have a wonderful day.
