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.

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him. He here addresses all Israel as about hereafter truly to "fear the Lord." As leader of the Church's praises, He calls fourth thanksgivings in "the great congregation" to come.

And fear him. A different Hebrew word is used for "fear" in the close ( guwr (H1481)) from that in the first sentence, "Ye that fear ( yirª'eey (H3373)) the Lord." Be in awe of Him: in reference to the judgments on the ungodly which shall call forth reverential awe toward God on the part of the redeemed. This is proved by Revelation 15:4.
