On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He is high there above all people; as that which is high is exposed to view, and looked up to, so in Zion the perfections of the divine nature appear more conspicuous and more illustrious than any where else. Therefore let those that dwell in Zion, and worship there, praise thy great and terrible name, and give thee the glory due unto it, for it is holy.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
