Psalms 96:6
Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
BSB
ASV
Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
KJV
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Honour and majesty are before him. Men can but mimic these things; their pompous pageants are but the pretence of greatness. Honour and majesty are with him and with him alone. In the presence of Jehovah real glory and sovereignty abide, as constant attendants. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. In him are combined all that is mighty and lovely, powerful and resplendent. We have seen rugged strength devoid of beauty, we have also seen elegance without strength; the union of the two is greatly to be admired.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
