Psalm 97
Concise Complete
The Lord Jesus reigns in power that cannot be resisted. (1-7) His care of
his people, and his provision for them. (8-12)
Verses 1-7 Though
many have been made happy in Christ, still there is room. And all have reason to
rejoice in Christ's government. There is a depth in his counsels, which we must
not pretend to fathom; but still righteousness and judgment are the habitation
of his throne. Christ's government, though it might be matter of joy to all,
will yet be matter of terror to some; but it is their own fault that it is so.
The most resolute and daring opposition will be baffled at the presence of the
Lord. And the Lord Jesus will ere long come, and put an end to idol worship of
every kind.
Verses 8-12 The
faithful servants of God may well rejoice and be glad, because he is glorified;
and whatever tends to his honour, is his people's pleasure. Care is taken for
their safety. But something more is meant than their lives. The Lord will
preserve the souls of his saints from sin, from apostacy, and despair, under
their greatest trials. He will deliver them out of the hands of the wicked one,
and preserve them safe to his heavenly kingdom. And those that rejoice in Christ
Jesus, and in his exaltation, have fountains of joy prepared for them. Those
that sow in tears, shall reap in joy. Gladness is sure to the upright in heart;
the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment. Sinners tremble, but saints
rejoice at God's holiness. As he hates sin, yet freely loves the person of the
repentant sinner who believes in Christ, he will make a final separation between
the person he loves and the sin he hates, and sanctify his people wholly, body,
soul, and spirit.
