| Invite homage to such a God (Ch2 32:23), who can stop the breath of kings and princes when He wills (Dan 5:23). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
vow, and pay unto the Lord your God - That is, Pay your vows, or sacredly observe them. On the word "vow," see the notes at Psa 22:25. Compare Psa 50:14; Psa 56:12; Psa 66:13. The word refers to a voluntary promise made to God.
Let all that be round about him - All that worship him, or that profess to honor him.
Bring presents - Bring gifts or offerings; things expressive of gratitude and homage. See the notes at Psa 45:12. Compare Isa 16:1, note; Isa 18:7, note; Isa 60:5, note.
Unto him that ought to be feared - Margin, "to fear." The meaning would be well expressed by the word dread; "to the Dread One." It was not to inspire fear that the presents were to be brought; but they were to be brought to One who had shown that he was the proper object of dread or reverence. |
