3. No doubt the surrounding nations imagined Jehovah to be a merely local
deity, the god of a small nation, and therefore one ot the inferior deities;
the psalmist utterly repudiates such an idea. Idolaters tolerated gods many and
lords many, giving to each a certain measure of respect; the monotheism of the
Jews was not content with this concession; it rightly claimed for Jehovah the
chief place, and the supreme power. This verse and the following supply some of
the reasons for worship, drawn from the being, greatness, and sovereign
dominion of the Lord.
