Commentary on Psalms 97:1
This enthronement psalm begins with the proclamation 'The LORD reigneth' (Yahweh malak), establishing divine sovereignty as the foundation for all that follows. The call for the earth to rejoice (samach) and the 'multitude of isles' (coastlands—representing distant nations) to be glad demonstrates that God's reign is universal, not merely local. This cosmic perspective anticipates the Great Commission and the gospel's spread to all nations. True joy originates from recognizing God's rightful rule over all creation.
