Salmos 97:6-12

6 Los cielos denunciaron su justicia, y todos los pueblos vieron su gloria

7 Avergüéncense todos los que sirven a la escultura, los que se alaban de los ídolos; adórenlo todos los dioses

8 Oyó Sion, y se alegró; y las hijas de Judá se gozaron por tus juicios, oh SEÑOR

9 Porque tú, SEÑOR, eres alto sobre toda la tierra; eres muy ensalzado sobre todos los dioses

10 Los que amáis al SEÑOR, aborreced el mal; él guarda las almas de sus misericordiosos; de mano de los impíos los libra

11 Luz está sembrada para el justo, y alegría para los rectos de corazón

12 Alegraos, justos, en el SEÑOR; y alabad la memoria de su santidad

Salmos 97:6-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 97

This psalm is ascribed to David by the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions. It is of the same argument, and upon the same subject, as the preceding, the coming and kingdom of Christ; and that it respects his first coming into the world, when angels were called upon to worship him, appears from Ps 97:7 compared with Heb 1:6 though it is expressed in such language as seems to agree with his second coming; and, perhaps, both are included, with various things between the one and the other; or it respects the kingdom of Christ, from his first to his second coming; to which agrees the inscription of the Syriac version, which is

``a Psalm of David, in which he prophesies concerning the coming of the Messiah, and again he intimates in it his last appearance.''
