Psalms 2:11

Psalms 2:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Serve the Lord with fear. "If ye will not serve him (i.e. honour and obey him) from love, do it from fear;" "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (). And rejoice. Do not be content with fear.

Go on from fear to love, and so to joy. Good men "rejoice in God alway" (). But such rejoicing must be with trembling; or, with reverence (Prayer-book Version), since no service is acceptable to God but such as is rendered "with reverence and godly fear" ().
