1. O clap your hands. The most natural and most
enthusiastic tokens of exultation are to be used in view of the victories of
the Lord, and his universal reign. Our joy in God may be demonstrative, and he
will not censure it. All ye people. The joy is to extend to all nations;
Israel may lead, but all the Gentiles are to follow, for they have an equal
share in that kingdom where Christ is all in all. It is the best hope of all
nations that Jehovah rules over them. If they cannot all speak the same tongue,
the symbolic language of the hands they can all use. All people will be ruled
by the Lord in the latter days, and all will exult in that rule; were they wise
they would submit to it now, and rejoice to do so. Shout. Let your
voices keep tune with your hands. Unto God. Let him have all the honors
of the day, and let them be loud, joyous, universal, and undivided. With the voice of triumph. With glad sounds consonant with such splendid victories.
The prospect of the universal reign of the Prince of Peace is enough to make
the tongue of the dumb sing.
