Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

This is worthy of our belief, for His faithfulness (is praised) by the congregation of saints or holy ones; that is, angels (compare Deu 33:2; Dan 8:13). sons of the mighty--(compare Psa 29:1). So is He to be admired on earth.

John Gill Bible Commentary

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,.... Which Jarchi and Kimchi understand of angels again, and render it "God is to be feared in the great assembly of them"; for they are a very large number, even an innumerable company, in and by whom the Lord is feared and worshipped, Heb 12:21, but rather an assembly or congregation of holy men are designed: it is the duty of such to assemble together publicly for religious worship; they ought to do it on account of the Lord, who requires it, and encourages it by his presence, he has promised; on the account of themselves, it being for their profit and pleasure; and on the account of others, for their conversion and comfort; and in imitation of the people of God, in all ages; nor should they forsake the assembling of themselves: the word rendered "assembly", signifies "counsel" or "secret"; see Gen 49:6 and so the Targum, "God is mighty in the secrets of the saints, sitting on a throne of glory;'' in the assembly of the saints, the secrets of God's love are disclosed unto them; the doctrines and mysteries of his grace, called the whole counsel of God, Act 20:27 are there made known; and the ordinances of the Gospel, which also are styled the counsel of God, Luk 7:30, are there administered: now, where all this is done, God is greatly feared herein; not with a slavish fear, a fear of hell and damnation, such as may be in devils; nor with an hypocritical fear, such as is taught by the precepts of men; but with a filial, godly fear, such as is peculiar to the children of God; with an holy and humble fear, with a fiducial and fearless one; with a reverential affection for the Divine Being, and such as includes all worship of him, internal and external: and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him; which the Targum paraphrases "and is to be feared above all the angels that stand round about him'' and so Kimchi interprets it; see Rev 5:11, but the same thing, in different words, is meant, as in the preceding clause.
