Job 38:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Morning stars - especially beautiful. The creation-morn is appropriately associated with these, it being the commencement of this world's day. The stars are figuratively said to sing God's praises, as in Psalms 19:1; Psalms 148:3. They are symbols of the angels, bearing the same relation to our earth as angels do to us. Therefore they answer to "sons of God" or angels, in the parallel (see note, Job 25:5).
