Commentary on Psalms 97:12
The command to 'rejoice in the LORD' (samach ba-Yahweh) grounds joy in God Himself, not circumstances. Giving thanks 'at the remembrance of his holiness' (zecher qodsho) indicates that recalling God's holy character produces gratitude. Holiness here encompasses God's transcendent otherness and moral perfection. The psalm concludes where it began (v. 1)—with rejoicing—creating an inclusio that frames everything in worship. Christian joy is theological, rooted in who God is, not what we experience.
