Psalms 97:12

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous -See the notes atPsalms 33:1. And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness -Margin, “to the memorial” (comparePsalms 30:4). The idea is, “to the memory of his holiness;” that is, when his holiness comes before the mind; when it is remembered; when it is thought of. Give thanks or rejoice, (a) that God is holy; that he is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity; that there is One eternally pure who presides over the universe; that there is One who will always do what is right; (b) that such a Being is our God - our covenant-keeping God; that we may look to him, trust in him, enjoy him.
