Psalms 96:7

Verse 7. Idols. Hebrew Elilim. Psalms 95:5. Bible.—Angels. Hebrew Elohim, means also, all who have power. Chal. “idols.” Saint Paul, (Hebrews 1:6) quotes this in the third person; Let all the angels, ( Calmet.) or rather he alludes to the Septuagint (Deuteronomy 32:43) which clearly speaks of the Messias, and may therefore have been altered in the Hebrew text, which S. Jerom translated. The psalmist expresses the same idea as Moses had done. Bert.—Both those who adore idols of their own imagination, and their graven things, are condemned. Worthington.
