The psalmist opens with exhortation to the heavenly beings, the divine council or sons of God, to ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. The address establishes a cosmic dimension of worship, inviting the entire hierarchy of creation to join in acclaiming God's majesty. The twin imperatives employ repetition to emphasize that God's fundamental attributes are power and majesty. The phrase "in the splendor of holiness" suggests that proper worship must acknowledge God's transcendent otherness. This psalm positions human worship as participation in the cosmic liturgy.
