Verses 1-2
1, 2. These verses open the scene with a call upon celestial beings to praise and glorify Jehovah.
O ye mighty Hebrew, sons of God; angels and archangels. See Job chap. Psalms 38:7, and note on Psalms 89:6.
Glory and strength It was fit that beings in heaven should take the lead in praising Him who alone rideth upon the storm, and maketh the clouds his chariot. Psalms 18:13-15; Psalms 104:3.
Beauty of holiness The Septuagint reads “holy court,” ( αυλη αγια ,) and is followed by the Vulgate, as if the splendour of the sanctuary or of the high priest’s vestments was referred to. But it had better be understood of moral beauty; that beauty or ornament which is “produced by or consists in holiness.” Alexander. Comp. 1 Peter 3:3-5. It can hardly be taken here, as some do, for holy or ornamental vestments, such as the priests wore. See note on Psalms 96:9; Psalms 110:3
