4. Rejoice! The King Is Coming! (vv. 10-13). “The Lord reigns” (v. 10 nkjv; see 93:1) can also be translated “The Lord has become King” (see Rev. 11:17), referring to the day Jesus will sit on David’s throne and rule over the nations (Luke 1:26-33; Rev. 19:11-16). Only then will there be true justice on the earth (Isa. 9:6-7; 32:1, 16; 42:1-4). Today, creation is in bondage to corruption and futility because of Adam’s sin, but when the children of God are fully redeemed at Christ’s return, creation will also be set free (Rom. 8:18-23). No wonder the psalmist described the joy of heaven and earth, the seas and the dry land, and even the trees of the earth, as they welcome their Creator, and then there will be justice on the earth (7:6-8; 9:7-8; 98:7-9; Isa. 55:12). “The whole creation is on tiptoe to see the wonderful sight of the sons of God coming into their own” (Rom. 8:19 ph). Rejoice!
