Psalms 97:6-9

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 97:6 These verses concern the false worship found among the nations who are worshipers of images. There is a contrast between the false gods and the Lord, who is most high over all the earth and exalted far above all gods. The purpose here is not to gloat but to look forward to the time when all the peoples see his glory. The OT anticipates this era (see Numbers 14:21) and connects it to the reign of the Davidic Messiah (see Isaiah 11:1).
