SCRIPTURE

"For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods." — Psalms 96:4 (ASV)

For the Lord is great

In the perfections of his nature; in the works of his hands, of creation, providence, 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 Psalms 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.
