7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it!
7 Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause, With everything living on earth joining in.
7 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell in it;
7 Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the earth and all living things join in.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 98:7
Commentary on Psalm 98:4-9
(Read Psalm 98:4-9)
Let all the children of men rejoice in the setting up the kingdom of Christ, for all may benefit by it. The different orders of rational creatures in the universe, seem to be described in figurative language in the reign of the great Messiah. The kingdom of Christ will be a blessing to the whole creation. We expect his second coming to begin his glorious reign. Then shall heaven and earth rejoice, and the joy of the redeemed shall be full. But sin and its dreadful effects will not be utterly done away, till the Lord come to judge the world in righteousness. Seeing then that we look for such things, let us give diligence that we may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
