The Lord reigneth, let the people tremble Namely, such of them as are enemies to God and his truth. He sitteth between the cherubims Upon the ark; that is, he is present with his people, to protect them and punish their enemies. Let the earth Namely, the people of the earth; be moved With fear and trembling. The Lord is great in Zion Hebrew, The Lord in Zion (that is, who dwelleth in Zion) is great. He is high above all people Above all the people of the earth who exalt themselves against him. Let them Namely, all people last mentioned; praise thy great and terrible name And give thee the glory due unto it; for it is holy As well as great, and therefore worthy to be praised. The holiness of God's name makes it truly great to his friends and terrible to his enemies.
