Make a joyful noise unto the Lord - See the notes at Psalms 95:1. All ye lands - Margin, as in Hebrew, “all the earth.” The margin expresses the sense. The idea in the psalm is, that praise did not pertain to one nation only; that it was not appropriate for one people merely; that it should not be confined to the Hebrew people, but that there was a proper ground of praise for “all;” there was that in which all nations, of all languages and conditions, could unite. The ground of that was the fact that they had one Creator, Psalms 100:3. The psalm is based on the unity of the human race; on the fact that there is one God and Father of all, and one great family on earth. return to 'Top of Page'
