Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 113:4

The LORD [is] high above all (b) nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.

(b) If God's glory shines through all the world, and therefore of all ought to be praised, what great condemnation were it to his people, among whom chiefly it shines, if they should not earnestly extol his Name?
