From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord reigneth -The Lord, Yahweh, is king. SeePsalms 93:1. Let the people tremble -The Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate render this, “Let the people rage” - or, be angry: as if the idea were that God reigned, although the people were enraged, and were opposed to him. The true meaning of the word used here, however, is “tremble,” properly signifying to be moved, disturbed, disquieted, thrown into commotion; and then it may mean to be moved with anger,Proverbs 29:9;Isaiah 28:21; or with grief,2 Samuel 18:33: or with fear,Psalms 4:4; or with joy,Jeremiah 33:9.
