Psalm 96:11-13
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
All this rejoicing and all from various parts of the Creation. Rejoicing that You are returning to judge the world; judge those whom You set in dominion over that very Creation now rejoicing that the Day of Judgment has come. It is the Day of Retribution and Restoration. The Day When Righteousness Rules. The Day when all of Creation cries out that the great injustice done to it by the wilfulness of man has been rectified and healed. What a glorious day that will be.
