Ascribe to the LORD
The Hebrew word for "ascribe" is "yahab," which means to give or to attribute. This phrase calls believers to recognize and declare the inherent glory and majesty of God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, ascribing glory was a common practice in worship, acknowledging the deity's supreme power and authority. This act of ascription is not merely verbal but involves a deep, heartfelt recognition of God's sovereignty and majesty.

the glory due His name
"Glory" in Hebrew is "kabod," which signifies weightiness or honor. The "name" of the LORD represents His character and essence. In biblical times, a name was more than a label; it encapsulated the nature and attributes of the person. Thus, giving glory to God's name means acknowledging His divine attributes—His holiness, love, justice, and power. This phrase emphasizes the importance of honoring God not just with words but with a life that reflects His character.

bring an offering
The act of bringing an offering is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, where offerings were a tangible expression of worship and devotion. The Hebrew word "minchah" refers to a gift or tribute, often a grain offering. This act symbolizes the worshiper's acknowledgment of God's provision and their dependence on Him. It is a call to approach God with a heart of gratitude and surrender, offering not just material gifts but one's entire being.

and come before Him
To "come before" the LORD implies entering His presence with reverence and humility. In the tabernacle and temple worship, this involved a physical approach to the sacred space where God's presence dwelt. Spiritually, it signifies drawing near to God with a sincere heart, seeking communion and fellowship with Him. This phrase invites believers to approach God with confidence, knowing that through Christ, we have access to His presence.

Worship the LORD
The Hebrew word for "worship" is "shachah," meaning to bow down or prostrate oneself. This act of worship is a physical demonstration of submission and reverence. Worship in the biblical sense is not limited to singing or rituals but encompasses a lifestyle of obedience and devotion. It is an acknowledgment of God's worthiness and a response to His love and grace.

in the splendor of His holiness
"Splendor" refers to beauty, majesty, and radiance. "Holiness" is derived from the Hebrew word "qodesh," meaning set apart or sacred. God's holiness is His defining attribute, setting Him apart from all creation. This phrase calls believers to recognize the beauty and majesty of God's holiness, inspiring awe and reverence. It is an invitation to worship God not only for His mighty acts but for His pure and perfect nature. Worshiping in the splendor of His holiness involves aligning our lives with His holy standards and reflecting His character in the world.
