Commentary on Psalms 97:4
Divine lightning illuminating the world (tevel) represents God's revelation breaking through darkness. The earth seeing and trembling (chul—writhing, travailing) depicts creation's response to its Creator's unveiled presence. This isn't mere natural phenomenon but theophanic manifestation—God making His power visible. The universal scope ('world... earth') emphasizes that all creation witnesses and responds to God's glory. The trembling is appropriate reverence, not servile terror—the creature acknowledging the Creator.
