This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Forasmuch; this particle Nj min, is to be taken here causally, and refers either to what goes before, showing there is no comparison between God and idols; or rather, to what follows, as the ground and reason of all due subjection to God, as in the next verse.
Thy name is great, or, thou art transcendently great,
in might, i.e. though idols may have something of a name in the world among the heathen, yet there was nothing of their real power or might seen; or if the devil might act something through them to delude the world, yet nothing to be compared with that might that hath manifested itself in God’s works, Psa_106:8 111:6. All the works of idols are either none, or feeble and weak, Jer_10:8.
