Salmos 97:1

1. The Lord reigneth See Psalms 96:10; Psalms 99:1. This is the keynote to the psalm.

Earth The word might signify land the land of Palestine, but, more probably, the nations generally.

Multitude of isles The foreign nations, particularly the maritime nations, sea coasts, or nations beyond seas, as to the Hebrews, or those of whom the Hebrews had no knowledge but by commerce. See Psalms 72:10; Psalms 45:12
