6. Honor and majesty are before him. People
can but mimic these things; their pompous pageants are but the pretense of
greatness. In the presence of Jehovah real glory and sovereignty abide. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. In him are combined all that is mighty and
lovely, powerful and resplendent. In Chronicles we read strength and gladness;
and the two renderings do not disagree in sense. Not in outward show or parade
of costly robes does the glory of God consist; such things are tricks of state
with which the ignorant are dazzled; holiness, justice, wisdom, grace, these
are the splendors of Jehovah’s courts.
