Commentary on Psalms 97:2

Theological / Devotional

Clouds and darkness. Descriptive of how the majesty of God reveals itself to the eyes of mortal man. There are mysteries concerning the Deity man cannot fathom (see Rom. 11:33).

Righteousness and judgment. See Ps. 89:14. It matters not how great the evil may be, righteousness will ultimately prevail.

“Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again;

The eternal years of God are hers;

But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,

And dies among his worshippers.”

—WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, “The Battle Field”
