Bible Comments

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

Ver. 23. Ye that fear the Lord, praise him] viz. For your redemption by Christ's death and resurrection. Neither are any fit for such a purpose but such as fear the Lord. Excellent words become not a fool's mouth, saith Solomon; Christ would not suffer the devil to confess him. To be praised by a praiseless person is no praise, saith Seneca.

All ye seed of Jacob] i.e. Illi qui diligunt eum.

All ye the seed of Israel] Qui timent, sed adhuc non diligunt, saith R. David; but I like not his distinction; for none do truly fear God but those that love him, Hosea 3:5 .
