1 Chronicles 29:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:11

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory,
and the victory, and the majesty
That is, either God is possessed of all greatness and immensity, of dignity of nature, and of all perfections; of almighty power, of excellent glory, of superiority to all beings and of honour, and majesty, and all that grandeur, might, and honour in men, and victory over others; the majestic appearance they make, and exaltation above others they have, are all of God:

for all that is in the heaven and in the earth [is thine];
they are both made by him, and all that is in them, and therefore he has the sole right unto them:

thine is the kingdom, O Lord;
of nature and Providence; he has the sole dominion over all creatures, and the sovereign disposal of all things:

and thou art exalted as head above all;
men on earth, and angels in heaven.
