Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Psalms 96:7-9

(7-9) These verses are a relic of Psalms 29:1, where see Notes, but instead of being addressed to the angels it is, in accordance with the world of new ideas and feelings in which Israel lived after the Captivity, addressed to all the people of the world. A truly Messianic character is thus impressed on the psalm.
