Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 97:10

Theological / Devotional

Hate evil. The psalmist concludes with an exhortation to hate evil (see Ps. 45:7; cf. Ps. 34:14–22; 2 Cor. 6:14–18). Evil separates us from God. Indifference to evil opens the way for Satan to enter the life. Where there is love of sin in the heart, there can be no real religion (see Prov. 8:13).

Souls. See on Ps. 16:10.

Saints. Heb. chasidim (see Additional Note on Ps. 36).

Delivereth them. Compare Dan. 3:16–30; 6:16–23.
