John Wesley’s NotesPsalms 97

Isles - The Gentile nations, as this word, used Isa 42:4, is expounded, Matt 12:21.

Darkness - A dark cloud doth encompass him.

Heavens - The angels, yea God himself from heaven.

Confounded - Let them be ashamed of their folly. Gods - All you whom the Gentiles have made the objects of their worship.

Zion - Thy people dwelling in Zion or Jerusalem, to whom Christ came. Heard - The fame of thy judgments, and the setting up the kingdom of the Messiah.

Light - Joy and happiness. Sown - Is laid up for them.
