Psalms 97:2

The habitation of his throne— The basis, or foundation of his throne. It may be proper just to observe, that as the verbs in these first verses are in the present tense, so they should be throughout. In Psalms 97:4. His lightnings illuminate the world; the earth seeth, and trembleth: Psalms 97:5. The mountains melt like wax, &c. Every reader of taste must discern the sublimity of the passages, thus translated.
