Commentary for I Chronicles 16:31
יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations: ‘The LORD reigneth.’
Rashi on I Chronicles
The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult, and they will say among the nations, “The Lord has reigned” When a flesh and blood [monarch] reigns, all are sad, because they do not know whether he will judge harshly, but when the Holy One, blessed be He, will reign, the heavens and earth will rejoice, and all the upright will say, “Now the Lord has reigned,” for He has restored the Ark to us.
