02.097. Psalm 97

Psalms 97:1-12 This psalm is of the same strain with the preceding; and contains, (1.) Solemn calls to the Gentile nations to rejoice at the equity and extent of Jesus’ new-testament kingdom, and at the destruction of hardened Jews and heathen idolaters, occasioned by the establishment thereof, Psalms 97:1-7. (2.) Representations of the pure and holy joy of the saints, on account of Jesus’ highness, and the glory of God manifested therein, and of the care taken for their safety and comfort, Psalms 97:8-12.

Join the choir, O my soul. Sing praises to thy King; sing praises with understanding.
