Psalms 97:7 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.

Ver. 7. Confounded be all they that serve graven images] Those instruments of idolatry, and lurking places of devils, diabolicae inspirationis et iustinctus participes. Such and their servants we may lawfully pray against.

That boast themselves of idols] As did that idolatrous Micah, Judges 17:4,5, Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel 3:1,7; Julian, called, therefore Idolian; the Papists at this day. See Dr Rainolds de Idololatria Romana.

Worship him, all ye gods] i.e. All ye angels, saith the Greek and Arabic; and the apostle saith the same, Hebrews 1:6, proving Christ to be God-man. This psalm, saith Beza, is highly to be prized of all Christ's, as containing a most divine epitome of all gospel mysteries.
