The Lord Will

Psalm 66:3

β€œSay unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.”

KJV

Meaning

The language magnifies God over hostile power in the hymn's ancient setting.

All the earth summoned to praise

The opening calls the whole earth to joyful praise and confession of God's works.

Read carefully

The verse praises God; it does not transfer unlimited coercive power to worshipers.

Reflection

Remember that no human institution or adversary is ultimate.
