The Lord Reigns, Let the Earth Rejoice - Psalm 97
This illustration is inspired by Psalm 97 and the proclamation: “The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.” This Psalm is a declaration of God’s kingship over all creation, revealing His righteousness, justice, and sovereign rule over the nations.
Psalm 97 lifts the eyes to the reality that the God of Israel reigns above all powers and authorities. His throne is established in righteousness and justice, and His presence is both awe-inspiring and transformative. The earth itself responds to His kingship — rejoicing where there is light, and trembling where His holiness is revealed.
In this painting, radiant light breaking through clouds and layered skies reflects the glory of God’s reign. Expansive horizons and shifting movement suggest the response of creation to His authority — both reverence and joy. There is contrast between shadow and illumination, symbolising the justice and righteousness that define His rule.
The imagery also points toward the hope of His kingdom being made known across the earth — a future where His reign is fully recognised and His righteousness fills every place. Nothing is outside of His authority, and all creation ultimately responds to His presence.
This artwork serves as a visual reminder that the Lord reigns — not as a distant ruler, but as the righteous King whose presence brings both justice and joy to all creation.
