His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness continues without end. Together with the witness that the Lord's works are great, that His name alone is reverend, and that He dwells in light no one can approach, this establishes that reverence is owed to God in His exaltation and not to sinful human beings. It therefore stands against those who steal God's title for themselves by adopting reverend and right reverend, dressing in sacred garments in order to look holy, and striving upward to place themselves on equality with God and to be as gods. Such lifting up of self shows lack of knowledge of God and of His holiness through disobedience, whereas a genuine vision of God would bring meekness and lowliness of heart.
