Psalm 97:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 97:9

For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth
Above all the inhabitants of the earth, as the Targum; he is highly exalted above every name, men of the greatest name that is named in the world; he is made higher than the heavens, and the inhabitants of it; and has all power in heaven and earth, as Mediator; and, as a divine Person, he is the most high God, as the word "Elion", here used, signifies; and all this lays a foundation for joy and gladness in the saints; even the dignity of Christ's person, and the exaltation of him in the human nature:

thou art exalted far above all gods:
not only the fictitious deities of the Gentiles, or the greatest potentates upon earth, being made higher than the kings of the earth, who are called gods; but also than the angels in heaven; he is set down at the right hand of God, where they are not, and never were, nor shall be; angels, authorities, and powers, being subject to him, ( Hebrews 1:13 ) ( 1 Peter 3:22 ) .

Psalm 97:9 In-Context

7 Los que rinden culto a ídolos quedan deshonrados
—todos los que se jactan de sus inútiles dioses—
pues todos los dioses tienen que inclinarse ante él.

8 ¡Jerusalén
oyó y se alegró,
y todas las ciudades de Judá están felices
a causa de tu justicia, oh Señor
!

9 Pues tú, oh Señor
, eres supremo en toda la tierra,
exaltado muy por encima de todos los dioses.

10 ¡Ustedes, los que aman al Señor
, odien el mal!
Él protege la vida de sus justos
y los rescata del poder de los perversos.

11 La luz brilla sobre los justos,
y la alegría sobre los de corazón recto.
