Psalmen 99:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 99:3

Let them praise thy great and terrible name
All people, especially the Lord's people; those that dwell in Zion, where his name is great, in high esteem, venerable, and valued; as his name Jesus, or Saviour, is amiable and lovely to his saints; and his name, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is terrible to his enemies:

for it is holy;
his name is holy, as well as reverend and great; his nature is holy, both divine and human; holy in all his ways and works; and is holiness to his people, and therefore worthy of praise; holiness is the ground and foundation of his praise from the seraphim, ( Isaiah 6:3 ) .

Psalmen 99:3 In-Context

1 De HEERE regeert, dat de volken beven; Hij zit tussen de cherubim; de aarde bewege zich.

2 De HEERE is groot in Sion, en Hij is hoog boven alle volken.

3 Dat zij Uw groten en vreselijken Naam loven, die heilig is;

4 En de sterkte des Konings, die het recht lief heeft. Gij hebt billijkheden bevestigd, Gij hebt recht en gerechtigheid gedaan in Jakob.

5 Verheft den HEERE, onzen God, en buigt u neder voor de voetbank Zijner voeten; Hij is heilig!
