Psalm 97

97:1 The Lord reigns!

Let the earth be happy!

Let the many coastlands rejoice!

Psalms 98:7

98:7 Let the sea and everything in it shout,

along with the world and those who live in it!

Psalms 149:2

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator!

Let the people of Zion delight in their king!


sn Psalm 97. The psalmist depicts the Lord as the sovereign, just king of the world who comes in power to vindicate his people.

tn Heb “sons.”

sn The Lord is the king here, as the parallelism in the previous line (“their creator”) indicates.
