Psalms 96:12

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. -The announcement that the Lord reigneth, to be proclaimed by those who have heard it, to those pagan who have not. Verse 10. SAY AMONG THE HEATHEN THAT THE LORD REIGNETH: THE WORLD ALSO SHALL BE ESTABLISHED THAT IT SHALL NOT BE MOVED - (, note.) The open assuming of the kingdom by the Lord shall establish unmovably the earth, which has been shaken to its foundation by man's sin (; ). Peace shall universally supersede the present state of disorder (). He shall judge the people...

10-13 We are to hope and pray for that time, when Christ shall reign in righteousness over all nations. He shall rule in the hearts of men, by the power of truth, and the Spirit of righteousness. His coming draws nigh; this King, this Judge standeth before the door, but he is not yet come. The Lord will accept the praises of all who seek to promote the kingdom of Christ. The sea can but roar, and how the trees of the wood can show that they rejoice we know not; but He that searches the heart knows what is the mind of the Spirit, and understands the words, the broken language of the weakest. Christ will come to judge the earth, to execute just vengeance on his enemies, and to fulfil his largest promises to his people. What then are we? Would that day be welcome to us? If this be not our case, let us now begin to prepare to meet our God, by seeking the pardon of our sins, and the renewal o...

LET THE FIELD BE JOYFUL ... - This is taken - with the change of a single letter, not affecting the sense - from 1 Chronicles 16:32. It is a call on the fields - the cultivated portions of the earth - to rejoice in the reign of God. As if conscious of the beauty with which he clothes them, and of the happiness which they confer on man in their beauty and in the abundance of their productions, they are called on to praise God. THEN SHALL ALL THE TREES OF THE WOOD REJOICE - The forests - the oaks, the cedars, the pines, that wave with so much majesty. If they were conscious of their own magnificence and beauty - if they could see how much wisdom and goodness God has lavished on them, in their forms, their branches, their leaves, their flowers, their fruit - if they could know how much they are made to acco

EXPOSITION THIS psalm occurs, with very little change, in 1 Chronicles 16:23-13, and is there (1 Chronicles 16:7) ascribed to David. It is also entitled, "A Psalm of David," in the Septuagint. But the phraseology and the style, especially the frequent iteration (1 Chronicles 16:1, 1 Chronicles 16:2, 1Ch 16:7, 1 Chronicles 16:8, 1 Chronicles 16:13), belong to the later Hebr

LET THE FIELD BE JOYFUL, AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN,.... Not the field of the world, but of the church, separated from others by distinguishing grace; the peculiar property of Christ, cultivated and manured by his Spirit and grace, and abounding with the fruits and flowers thereof; of a wilderness becoming a fruitful field, and for that reason should rejoice, even with joy and singing, Isaiah 35:1, THEN SHALL ALL THE TREES OF THE WOOD REJOICE; the sons of God, so called, Song of Solomon 2:3, who, though like such, in their nature state, barren and unfruitful, yet, being ingrafted into Christ, become trees of righteousness; and so have reason to rejoice at their root in Christ, their stability by him, and fruitfulness through him: Jarchi interprets this of all the governors of the p

Psalms 96 The Lord Has Come _ 1. The new song (Psalms 96:1)_ 2. The Lord supreme (Psalms 96:4) 3. Glory unto His Name (Psalms 96:7) 4. Creation celebrating (Psalms 96:11) And now He has come and is manifested in the earth. The singing times begin and will last for a thousand years, when they will merge into the never ceasing songs of eternity. It is a call now to make the glad and glorious news known in all the earth and to make His glory known among the nations. That will be the work of converted Israel. Not much com

XCVI. THE PRAISE OF YAHWEH IN ISRAEL, AMONG THE NATIONS, IN ALL CREATION. This Ps. is inserted with considerable variations, in 1 Chronicles 16:23, probably by a later hand, and not by the Chronicler himself. It is largely compiled from other sources, notably from 2 Is. PSALMS 96:1. A NEW SONG: a song evoked by some new and startling event. The phrase occurs in Isaiah 42:10, where it is much more in place. Psalms 96:5. Read _mg._ but the meaning of Heb. is doubtful.

LET THE HEAVENS REJOICE— These three verses are a poetical description of the great causes of joy, which this kingdom of Christ, expressed by the _Lord's reigning,_ Psalms 96:10 and _coming to judge the world,_ Psalms 96:13 and which was to be spiritually erected, would bring to the whole world. The _heavens,_ and _earth,_ and _sea,_ and _trees,_ and _fields,_ are here put together, according to the scripture style, to denote the whole inferior world; which, interpreting the heavens of the airy regions, is made up of these. By his _judging,_ &c. is here meant his reforming and regenerating mankind, and governing them by righteous laws. REFLECTIONS.—1st, When Jesus is the subject of our song, words must fail to speak our gratitude. 1. With warm
