Judgment as Good News
Commentators explain that the psalm's call for universal praise is a response to God's coming judgment. This isn't a dreaded event, but the joyful establishment of Christ's righteous kingdom. As Albert Barnes notes, the very reading of this psalm is meant to fill the believer with joy and a higher view of God's just and glorious reign over all creation.
