11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
11 Let's hear it from Sky, With Earth joining in, And a huge round of applause from Sea.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
11 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 96:11
Commentary on Psalm 96:10-13
(Read Psalm 96:10-13)
We are to hope and pray for that time, when Christ shall reign in righteousness over all nations. He shall rule in the hearts of men, by the power of truth, and the Spirit of righteousness. His coming draws nigh; this King, this Judge standeth before the door, but he is not yet come. The Lord will accept the praises of all who seek to promote the kingdom of Christ. The sea can but roar, and how the trees of the wood can show that they rejoice we know not; but He that searches the heart knows what is the mind of the Spirit, and understands the words, the broken language of the weakest. Christ will come to judge the earth, to execute just vengeance on his enemies, and to fulfil his largest promises to his people. What then are we? Would that day be welcome to us? If this be not our case, let us now begin to prepare to meet our God, by seeking the pardon of our sins, and the renewal of our souls to holiness.
