Like in Psalm 96 we are told to sing a new song to the Lord. The Lord is a God of transformation. He transforms people and transforms situation.
Why are we to sing a new song? For He has done marvellous things. The Psalmist then refers specifically to God making His salvation known. This is what He has done on the cross. In Christ He has revealed His salvation. Jesus is the source of salvation for all peoples. And this has been revealed to the nations. So we see here the global nature of God's plan. When God called Abraham He said all people's would be blessed. For most of the OT this global applicability is hidden, but in Christ it is revealed.
So all the earth is called upon to praise the Lord. Again we see reference to various musical instruments being involved in the worship. Then the call goes to all of creation to praise the Lord as well.
Judging with equity and righteousness is one of the key features of God that He is praised for.
