Psalms 29:2 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Ver. 2. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name] Which yet you cannot do, for his name is above all praise, Nominatissimam et celeberrimam (Jan.), Psalms 148:13, but you must aim at it. The Rabbis observe that God's holy name is mentioned eighteen different times in this psalm; that great men especially may give him the honour of his name, that they may stand in awe and not sin, that they may bring presents to him who ought to be feared, and those also the very best of the best, since he is a great King, and standeth much upon his seniority, Malachi 1:14 .

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness] Or, in his glorious sanctuary; therefore glorious, because there they might see God's face, and hear his voice in his ordinances. Away, therefore, with your superstitions and will worships, and bring your gifts to his beautiful sanctuary; for nowhere else will he receive them. Send a lamb to this ruler of the earth, Isaiah 16:1, as a homage penny.
