Commentaries on Psalms 96:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth - Justin Martyr, in his dialogue with Trypho the Jew, quotes this passage thus: , ̔ , "Say among the nations, the Lord ruleth by the wood," meaning the cross; and accuses the Jews of having blotted this word out of their Bibles, because of the evidence it gave of the truth of Christianity. It appears that this reading did exist anciently in the Septuagint, or at least in some ancient copies of that work, for…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Say among the heathen - Among the nations; all nations. Make this proclamation everywhere. This is changed from the parallel passage in Psalm 93:1. The world also shall be established … - Under the reign of God. The meaning is, that the world is fixed or immovable. It has its place, and it cannot be moved out of it.

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.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10The Lord’s coming means the end of injustice. He rules fairly (Psalm 9:8; 96:13; 98:9). He brings a time of peace and order like the world has not known since Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden. The Lord’s rule over the world stands on the strong pillars of “righteousness and justice” (Psalm 89:14), so it cannot be shaken (compare 11:3).Read the comment
