Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Psalms 96:9

In the beauty of holiness— The beauty of holiness means the temple, or courts of the temple; which was the peculiar residence of Jehovah, and remarkable for its beauty and elegance. By the Lord, in the next verse, both Jews and Christians generally agree that the Messiah is meant.
