The affirmation that God most high is terrible and a great king over all the earth establishes divine majesty and supremacy over all earthly powers. The designation of God as terrible emphasizes both the awesome nature of divine power and the fear that appropriately accompanies recognition of such majesty. The reference to God as king over all the earth establishes universal dominion; no realm or people escapes God's sovereignty. The connection between God's terrible majesty and role as great king suggests that divine power provides the foundation for universal rule. This verse emphasizes both the awesome and the kingly dimensions of God's nature and authority.
