Psalm 98:8
“Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together”
KJV
Read in Psalm 98Meaning
The psalm intensifies creation's personified celebration. The imagery emphasizes universal joy, not literal supernatural behavior required of nature.
Creation rejoices before the righteous Judge
Sea, rivers, and hills rejoice because God comes to judge with righteousness and equity.
Read carefully
The language is poetic personification, not a method for divination.
Reflection
Let creation redirect attention toward the Creator.
