On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Holy joy in God will very well consist with that reverence and godly fear wherewith we ought to worship him. As a gracious God, a God of mercy and tender compassion. He is great, but he despises not any, no, not the meanest; nay, being a God of great power, he uses his power for the relief of those that are distressed,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Because of his awful and terrible majesty: He sends out his voice, and that a mighty voice. This may refer either generally to the thunder, which is called the voice of the Lord and is said to be powerful and full of majesty ( Ps. xxix. 3, 4 ), or in particular to that thunder in which God spoke to Israel at Mount Sinai.
