Psalms 97

Psalms 97:2

Clouds and darkness are round about him.

See 2 Sam. xxii. 12. XCVII. 3, 4. A fire goeth before him. His lightnings enlightened the world. See 2 Sam. xxii. 9, 13, 14.

Psalms 97:11

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

There is much joy and happiness laid up in store for the godly man; howsoever it do not yet make any shew to carnal minds: the seed of their comfort lies under the clods of affliction, for the time; but it shall surely sprout out, and fill their hearts, when their harvest comes, with gladness.
