Theological / Devotional

Glory. Heb. kabod, “honor,” “reputation.” The LXX reads “tongue,” which is also the reading of Acts 2:26. David is the most exuberant of singers. Every fiber of his being praises God. His life on earth is a foretaste of his life to come, in heaven. “The melody of praise is the atmosphere of heaven”.

Rest. Heb. shakan, “settle down,” “dwell,” “settle down to abide.”
