The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:7

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Professor Cheyne transposes this verse and the next, but without any necessity. It is quite natural that the effect of the theophany on God's enemies should be noted first. The effect is that they are "confounded," or rather, covered with shame. The display of real Divine power makes manifest the impotency of the idols, and puts their worshippers to the blush. Worship him, all ye gods. The theophany is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:7

Men's own gods. The figures which men worshipped in the olden time were either shaped of wood or molten metal; but in either case they were hand carved or hand graven, finished off by man's skill; and to set prominently the fact of man's share in their making, they are called "graven" images. It does not matter what form a man's god may take—whether it be a creation of his hand or of his imagination; the thing that makes it an idol, a vanity, an altogether unworthy thing, is that it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:8

Zion heard, and was glad (comp. Psalms 48:11 ). To Zion, the Church of God, the company of his saints, the theophany brings, not shame, but rejoicing. The Lord comes for their relief, for their deliverance, for their exaltation. And the daughters of Judah rejoiced. The"daughters of Judah" are the other cities of Judaea besides Jerusalem. In a Christian sense, they may be taken to represent the irregularly organized Churches, which will participate in the general joy of the faithful at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:9

For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth; rather, art the Most High ( eliun ) above all the earth (see the Revised Version). Thou art exalted far above all gods (comp. Psalms 97:7 , and see also Psalms 83:18 ). No comparison can be made between Jehovah and the heathen gods. He is "exalted" far, far above them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:10

Ye that love the Lord, hate evil. The psalmist ends his strain with an exhortation to the faithful—an exhortation, first of all, to "hate evil." God hates evil ( Psalms 45:7 ); evil will separate them from God, evil will be their destruction. Therefore let them hate and abhor it. It is indifference to evil, that, more than anything else, lays men open to the assaults of Satan. He preserveth the souls of his saints . He ( i.e. Jehovah) watches tenderly over the souls of his saints—his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:10

The hatred of sin. "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil." On the darkest, most puzzling of all questions—the origin of evil—the Bible leaves us quite in the dark. Old and New Testaments are alike silent. This would be very astonishing if the purpose of Scripture were to make deep philosophers or subtle theologians. We cease to wonder when we understand, what people have come to see more clearly in these days than formerly, that the object of God's Word is to "make wise unto salvation;" to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:10

Good haters. These are sadly wanted. Evil is not hated as it ought to be, as in this verse it is commanded to be. The world and the Church alike are suffering from need of those who hate well. The world is left without guidance, and the Church without strength, or honour, or joy. I. THERE ARE MANY WHO HATE NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL . 1 . They do not hate goodness. They would be shocked to be told they did. They often say fine things about it, and, like Herod with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:10

Our attitude toward evil. "Hate evil." In Scripture the term "evil" is employed in two senses—calamity and wrong doing. We can only "hate evil" when it stands for wrong doing. But it is necessary to carefully distinguish between hate of the wrong doer and hate of the wrong doing. The first is never right, the second is always right. We are to hate our own wrong doing, and to hate other people's. The term "hate" is also used in Scripture in two senses. Sometimes it means "feel intense... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 97:10

Our Soul preserver. It has always been a source of questioning and doubting to anxious minded men, such as the Psalmist Asaph, that God does not always preserve the bodies, or the circumstances, of his servants. But this ought to be no surprise to those who apprehend that God promises to preserve the soul; and he may, sometimes, be actually preserving the soul by not preserving the body. But perhaps this involves the higher Christian idea of the soul. In the older Scripture, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 97:6

The heavens declare his righteousness - See the notes at Psalms 50:6. Compare the notes at Psalms 19:1.And all the people see his glory - As manifested in the heavens, and in the power which he puts forth on the earth. That is, (they have the opportunity of seeing it; it is made manifest in all his works. They see what in fact is a manifestation of his glory, to wit, his great and wondrous works. It is not affirmed that they “appreciate” all this, or that they see this to be a manifestation of... read more
