Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In praising God we must do it so as to glorify him, and that must be the scope and drift of all our praises. Reckon it your greatest glory to praise God, so some. It is the highest honour the creature is capable of to be to the Creator for a name and a praise.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

his name--as in Ps 29:2. make his praise glorious--literally, "place honor, His praise," or, "as to His praise"; that is, let His praise be such as will glorify Him, or, be honorable to Him.
