Notes

Psalms 97:6

When the Lord comes into the world, the heavens announce his righteousness (Psalm 50:6).
Every nation will see the clear display of the Lord’s glory (see Psalm 8:1; 19:1–4a; 24:7; Isaiah 40:5).

Psalms 97:5–7

All creation responds to the coming of its King. He alone deserves worship.

Psalms 97:1–12

God is greatly exalted over the gods and over all the earth. Awe-inspiring phenomena accompany his coming. Even the created order is visibly affected and the wicked perish, but the people of Zion love his coming and rejoice.

Psalms 93:1–100:5

These psalms challenge the doubts created by the exile (see Psalm 89) and answer the questions asked in Psalm 90:11, 13. The Lord has established a kingdom (Psalm 93) that is characterized by:

punishment of the wicked (Psalm 94),
respectful obedience among his people (Psalm 95),
justice for the poor (Psalm 96),
celebration in Zion (Psalm 97),
salvation for Israel (Psalm 98),
holiness (Psalm 99), and
praise (Psalm 100).
