THE BLESSEDNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS"Zion heard and was glad,And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth:Thou art exalted far above all gods.Oh ye that love Jehovah, hate evil:He preserveth the souls of his saints;He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.Light is sown for the righteous,And gladness for the upright in heart.Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous;And give thanks to his holy memorial name.""Zion heard... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 97:6-9

When He comes to reign, His messengers will announce His arrival (cf. Revelation 19:11). Everyone will see Him descend (Zechariah 12:10; Revelation 1:7). In view of this revelation, idol worshippers should realize their folly. The psalmist called all judges ("gods") to worship Yahweh. God’s people can rejoice because He will rule over all the earth one day. "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20)! read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 97:1-12

This is another ’theocratic’ Ps., declaring how God has taken vengeance on His enemies in a way to which all nature responded (Psalms 97:2-6), denouncing idols and their worshippers (Psalms 97:7), expressing the joy of the cities of Israel at His judgments (Psalms 97:8-9), calling His people to hate evil (Psalms 97:10) and to share the gladness which ought to be their portion (Psalms 97:11-12).

The Instinct After Rising Psalms 97:10 Why is it that the study of human life in the Bible is so striking and helpful? Is it not because, as we close the book, we cannot help forming a moral judgment of the man himself? Take, for example, the life of Saul. We do not pass judgment upon him as a warrior or as a great leader, but we pass judgment upon Saul as a whole. David did much darker deeds than ever Saul did, and yet our judgment on the whole is in favour of David and against Saul. Why is... read more
