Awe, Anger, and a Reigning King
Commentators explain that the call for people to "tremble" has a dual meaning. For believers, it is a call to reverent awe before their sovereign King. For those who oppose God, it describes the fearful trembling or even rage that comes from confronting His unstoppable power. God's reign is a reality that demands a response from everyone.
