Psalms 96:6

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. HONOUR AND MAJESTY ARE BEFORE HIM - as His inseparable attendants "in, His presence." STRENGTH AND BEAUTY ARE IN HIS SANCTUARY. "Strength and gladness are in His place" (). The gladness in the worshippers (cf. ) was the effect of the contemplation of His "beauty." The "strength" is the power obtained by prayer in His sanctuary. The "beauty" is the glory of God's presence. So , "glory and strength," are parallel to "strength and beauty" here. The "sanctuary" is wherever the Lord is: "His place" in 1 Chronicles 16:1. O...

6_Strength and honor are before him _I translate the Hebrew word הוד _, hod, _by _strength, _and think those interpreters who render it _glory _have not duly considered the context. It is evident that the next member of the verse is a repetition, and there it reads, _Power and Glory are in his sanctuary. _The Psalmist means that we cannot be said to know God if we have not discovered that there is in him an incomparable glory and majesty. He first takes notice of his power and strength, as that in which his glory consists. There, as God is invisible, he directs the thoughts of his people to the sanctuary, which we have already seen to be the symbol of his presence. Such is the weakness of our minds that we rise with difficulty to the contemplation of his glory in the heavens. The Psalmist reminds us that we have no reason to say that his glory is obscure, since there were emblems of his...

1-9 When Christ finished his work on earth, and was received into his glory in heaven, the church began to sing a new song unto him, and to bless his name. His apostles and evangelists showed forth his salvation among the heathen, his wonders among all people. All the earth is here summoned to worship the Lord. We must worship him in the beauty of holiness, as God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. Glorious things are said of him, both as motives to praise and matter of praise....

Verse Psalms 96:6. _HONOUR AND MAJESTY ARE BEFORE HIM_] Does this refer to the cloud of his glory that preceded the ark in their journeying through the wilderness? The words _strength_ and _beauty_, and _glory_ _and strength_, Psalms 96:7, are those by which the ark is described, Psalms 78:61....

HONOUR AND MAJESTY ARE BEFORE HIM - This part of the verse is taken literally from 1 Chronicles 16:27. The meaning is, that that which constitutes honor, glory, majesty, is in his presence, or wherever he is. Whereever he manifests himself, there are the exhibitions of honor and majesty. They are always the accompaniments of his presence. STRENGTH AND BEAUTY ARE IN HIS SANCTUARY - This is slightly varied from the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 16:27. The word rendered “strength” is in both places the same. The word rendered “beauty” here - תפארת _tiph'ereth_ - is in 1 Chronicles 16:2

EXPOSITION THIS psalm occurs, with very little change, in 1 Chronicles 16:23-13, and is there (1 Chronicles 16:7) ascribed to David. It is also entitled, "A Psalm of David," in the Septuagint. But the phraseology and the style, especially the frequent iteration (1 Chronicles 16:1, 1 Chronicles 16:2, 1Ch 16:7, 1 Chronicles 16:8, 1 Chronicles 16:13), belong to the later Hebr

HONOUR AND MAJESTY ARE BEFORE HIM,.... He being set down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, and having honour and majesty laid upon him; being arrayed in robes of majesty, crowned with glory and honour, sitting on the same throne of glory with his Father, and having a sceptre of righteousness in his hand, and all the forms and ensigns of royalty and majesty about him; rays of light and glory darting from him; as well as those glorious and bright forms before him; the holy angels continually praising him; which is a much more noble sense than that of Kimchi's, who interprets them of the stars: STRENGTH AND BEAUTY ARE IN HIS SANCTUARY; the Targum is, "the house of his sanctuary,'' the temple; the Gospel church, of which the temple or sanctuary was a figure: the strength of Christ is seen here, in the conversion of sinners by his Gospel, which is the rod of hi...

Creation celebrating (Psalms 96:11) And now He has come and is manifested in the earth. The singing times begin and will last for a thousand years, when they will merge into the never ceasing songs of eternity.

XCVI. THE PRAISE OF YAHWEH IN ISRAEL, AMONG THE NATIONS, IN ALL CREATION. This Ps. is inserted with considerable variations, in 1 Chronicles 16:23, probably by a later hand, and not by the Chronicler himself. It is largely compiled from other sources, notably from 2 Is. PSALMS 96:1. A NEW SONG: a song evoked by some new and startling event. The phrase occurs in Isaiah 42:10, where it is much more in place. Psalms 96:5. Read _mg._ but the meaning of Heb. is doubtful.
