For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised - (Psalms 48:1.) The "For" justifies the attribution of "glory" and "wonders" to Him in Psalms 96:3.
He is to be feared above all gods - (Psalms 95:3.) At this time the might of the world-power was at its height, and threatened destruction to the small state of Judea. But faith assured the people of God that their Yahweh is superior to all the vain gods of the world; and prophecy comforted them With the prospect that the pagan themselves at last will recognize Yahweh alone.
