Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Psalms 96:10

Say among the heathen. — The watchword of the Restoration, “Jehovah has become King” (see Psalms 93:1, note, and comp. Isaiah 52:7), is an Evangel not only for Jerusalem but for the world at large. But to it is added (see the difference of arrangement in 1 Chronicles 16:29) the further statement of the stability of the world, emblem of the stability and justice of the Divine Government.
