What Does Psalms 96:10 Mean?
The affirmation of God's rule extends across all creation and all peoples. To say 'the LORD reigneth' is to confess His sovereign dominion over history, nature, and the hearts of people. This is not a future promise alone but a present reality.
He establishes order such that 'the world...shall not be moved'—it stands firm under His governance. His judgment of peoples is always 'righteous,' meaning it aligns with truth, justice, and the moral order He established. No injustice can escape His notice or final verdict.
