12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
12 let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
12 Let Wilderness turn cartwheels, Animals, come dance, Put every tree of the forest in the choir -
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord.
12 Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 96:12
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.
