Psalms 21:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

His glory His fame or renown, is great in thy salvation By reason of those great and glorious deliverances which thou hast wrought both for him and by him. Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him Or, fitted to him, or upon him, or made adequate to him, as the word תשׁוה, teshav-veh, signifies. Thou hast given him honour and power suitable to his glorious person and high endowments. “What tongue,” says Dr. Horne, “can express the ‘glory, honour, and majesty,' with which the King of righteousness and peace was invested upon his ascension, when he took possession of the throne prepared for him, and received the homage of heaven and earth! The sacred imagery in St. John's Revelation sets them before our eyes in such a manner, that no one can read the description whose heart will not burn within him, through impatient desire to behold them.” See Revelation, Chapter s 4., 7., 19., 21., 22.
