Psalms 29:2

_GIVE UNTO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE UNTO HIS NAME; WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS._ Glory due unto his name - namely, the glory which is His due because of His name; i:e., His manifested attributes, His power, wisdom, and goodness. BEAUTY OF HOLINESS, х_ BªHADRAT_ (H1927) _ QODESH_ (H6944)]; or as margin, after the Septuagint [en aulee agia autou], Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic, 'in (His) glorious sanctuary.' So Psalms 96:9; 1 Chronicles 16:29; 2 Chronicles 20:21. In Psalms 110:3 t

Verse Psalms 29:2. _THE GLORY DUE UNTO HIS NAME_] Rather, _the glory of his_ _name_. His name is _Mercy_; his nature is _love_. Ascribe _mercy,_ _love, power_, and _wisdom_ to him. All these are implied in the name _Jehovah_. _IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS._] בהדרת קדש _behadrath kodesh_, "the beautiful garments of holiness." Let the priests and Levites put on their best and cleanest apparel; and let the whole service be conducted in such a way as to be no dishonour to the Divine Majesty. The _Vulgate_ and others read, _In the palace of his_ _holiness_. Let all go to the temple, and return thanks to God for their preservation during this dreadful storm. See on Psalms 29:9....

GIVE UNTO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE UNTO HIS NAME - Margin: “the honor of his name.” The honor of His name is that which is due to it, or which properly belongs to it. The “name” is put here, as it often is, for God Himself; and the meaning is, “Ascribe to God the honor that is properly his due.” This is a claim addressed to the angels; it is a claim certainly not less binding on people. It is practically a call upon all creatures in the universe to ascribe due honor to God. WORSHIP THE LORD - This exhortation is made particularly in view of the manifestations of His power in the storm. The idea is, that one who is capable of putting forth such power as is displayed in a tempest, has a claim to adoration and praise. IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS - Margin, “in his glorious sanctuary.” The Hebrew phrase would properly mean “holy beauty.” Some have supposed that it mean

EXPOSITION THIS is a psalm of praise to God, and at the same time one intended to comfort and cheer his people.

GIVE UNTO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE TO HIS NAME,.... Or "the glory of his name" x: which is suitable to his nature, agreeable to his perfections, and which belongs unto him on account of his works; WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS; the Lord is only to be worshipped, and not any creature, angels or men; not Jehovah the Father only, who is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth; but the Son of God, and the Holy Ghost also, being of the same nature, and possessed of the same perfections; and that with both internal and external worship; and in true holiness, in which there is a real beauty: holiness is the beauty of God himself, he is glorious in it; it is the beauty of angels, it makes them so glorious as they are; and it is the beauty of saints, it is what makes them like unto Christ, and by which they are partakers of the divine nature; and in the exercise of holy graces, and in...
