Give Glory to the LORD's Name - Psalms 29:2

In Psalms chapter twenty-nine David said “Give unto the LORD, O you mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength”, and in chapter twenty nine and verse two of Psalms David said, “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name”, where we read,

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

The verse begins, “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name;” David began with the words, “Give unto the LORD” which means “provide, set, place and ascribe to Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God”, “the glory” or “the honor, splendor, abundance and dignity” “due unto his name” which means “owed and payable to his, Jehovah God's, reputation, fame and renown”. David exhorted people to provide and ascribe honor, splendor and dignity to Jehovah God's reputation, fame and renown.

The verse goes on to say, “worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” David continued with the words, “worship the LORD” or “bow down, prostrate, reverence and humbly beseech Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God” “in the beauty of holiness” which means “within the holy adornment, honor and glory pertaining to sacredness, separateness and consecration”. David declared that people should reverence and humbly beseech Jehovah God with honor, glory, sacredness and consecration.

When we think through the words in this verse, we learn how David challenged people to ascribe to Jehovah God the honor, splendor and dignity that He is owed, and he desired that Jehovah be revered in a sacred and consecrated manner. David directed people to Jehovah God, and Jehovah God directs people to believe in His Son Jesus who died on the cross for the sins of the world. We are given the opportunity to ascribe glory and honor to Jehovah God through His Son Jesus, and we worship Him for making a way for our sins to be forgiven and to inherit everlasting life. Let us “give” Jehovah God “glory and honor”, and may we “worship” Him like David exhorted within His holy and sacred consecration.

Next time David says, “the voice of the LORD is upon the waters”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
