Psalms 96:4

WEB

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

KJV

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

Commentary

For the Lord is great,.... In the perfections of his nature; in the works of his hands, of creation, prov idence, and redemption; and in the several offices he bears and executes: and greatly to be praised; because of his greatness and glory; See Gill on Psa 48:1 , he is to be feared above all gods; the angels by whom he is worshipped; civil magistrates, among whom he presides, and judges; and all the fictitious deities of the Gentiles, who are not to be named with him, and to whom no fear, reverence, and worship, are due.
