Psalms 96:10

“Say among the Heathen, etc.] This is a direction to such as were converted to Christ among the Jews, or were first called out from among the Gentiles; or to the ministers of the word, the apostles and first preachers of the Gospel more especially, who were sent into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature, that a people from among them might he taken for the Lord: that the Lord reigneth; whose Gospel should be received and obeyed, and his ordinances submitted to; who now reigns in heaven, at his Father’s right hand, and must reign till all enemies are put under his feet; he reigns in the hearts of his people by his Spirit and grace; will reign more gloriously in his churches in…”

“Say among the heathen - Among the nations; all nations. Make this proclamation everywhere. This is changed from the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 16:0. The language there is, “Fear before him, all the earth; the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved: let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let people say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.” The sense is, however, essentially the same. The idea here is, “Make universal proclamation that Yahweh is King.” That the Lord reigneth - See the notes at Psalms 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…”

“Reigneth - God hath now set up his kingdom in the world. Established - The nations of the world shall by the means of it enjoy an established and lasting peace. Psalms 96:13”

“96:10 The Lord’s coming means the end of injustice. He rules fairly (9:8; 96:13; 98:9) and inaugurates an era of harmony and order not experienced since Eden. • The Lord’s reign over the world is founded on the strong pillars of “righteousness and justice” (89:14), so it cannot be shaken (cp. 11:3).”

“Say: Psa 18:49, Psa 46:6, Psa 46:10, Psa 126:2; Mal 1:11, Mal 1:14; Gal 1:16 the Lord: Psa 2:8-12, Psa 59:13, Psa 93:1, Psa 97:1, Psa 99:1; Dan 2:44; Mat 3:2; Rev 11:15, Rev 19:6 the world: Isa 49:8; Col 2:7; Heb 1:3 judge: Psa 96:13, Psa 9:8, Psa 67:4, Psa 98:9; Isa 11:3-5; Act 17:31; Rom 2:5, Rom 2:6, Rom 3:5, Rom 3:6; Rev 19:11 Psalms 96:11”

“That which is to be said among the peoples is the joyous evangel of the kingdom of heaven which is now come and realized. The watchword is "Jahve is King," as in Isa 52:7. The lxx correctly renders: ὁ κύριος ἐβασίλευσε (Note: In the Psalterium Veronense with the addition apo xylu, Cod. 156, Latinizing ἀπὸ τῷ ξύλῳ; in the Latin Psalters (the Vulgate excepted) a ligno, undoubtedly an addition by an early Christian hand, upon which, however, great value is set by Justin and all the early Latin Fathers.) for מלך is intended historically ( Rev 11:17). אף, as in Psa 93:1, introduces that which results from this fact, and therefore to a certain extent goes beyond it.
