Psalms 99:3

Psa 99:3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.

Ver 3. Let them praise thy great and terrible name ] Nomen illud maiestativum. Some hereby understand the name Jehovah, of which Joshua 7:9 , "What wilt thou do to thy great name?" And Jeremiah 44:26 , "I have sworn by my great name." But God’s name is usually put for God’s self.

For it is holy ] And therefore to be sanctified in righteousness, Isaiah 5:16 .
