Psalms97:8

8 Zion heard , and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoyced; because of thy judgments , O LORD.

Thy people dwelling in Zion, or Ierusalem and Iudah, to whom Christ came, and among whom the Gospel was first preached. Or, thy Church and People who both in the Prophetical writings are oft called Zion.

The fame of thy judgments, as the following words declare, the ruine of Idolatry and the setting up the Kingdom of the Messias in the World.

Particular Churches or rather persons members of Zion.

Not that they took pleasure in the ruine of others, but because that made way for the advancement of Gods glory and Christs Kingdom in the World.
