The psalmist repeats the exhortation, deepening the call to worship with emphasis on the sacred assembly where God's glory is made manifest. The phrase "Worship the LORD in his holy splendor" suggests the aesthetic and spiritual dimensions of encountering God's presence in the temple. The command to bow down emphasizes the physical posture of submission and reverence appropriate to encountering the holy. This verse deepens the first exhortation by adding corporate dimension: worship is not merely internal but external expression in assembly. The repetition creates momentum and urgency building toward the theophany.
