The term "glorious splendor" suggests a radiance that is both awe-inspiring and beyond human comprehension. In biblical context, God's majesty is often associated with His kingship and authority over creation, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/93.htm">Psalm 93:1</a>, which declares, "The LORD reigns, He is robed in majesty." The imagery of splendor and majesty is also reminiscent of the visions of God in <a href="/isaiah/6.htm">Isaiah 6:1-4</a> and <a href="/revelation/4.htm">Revelation 4</a>, where God's throne is depicted with grandeur and holiness. Historically, the concept of majesty would resonate with ancient audiences familiar with the opulence of earthly kings, yet God's majesty surpasses all. This phrase invites believers to recognize and revere God's supreme power and beauty.<p><b>And I will meditate on Your wondrous works</b><br>Meditation in this context refers to deep, reflective thought and contemplation on God's actions and deeds. The "wondrous works" of God include His creation, providence, and acts of salvation throughout history. This aligns with passages like <a href="/psalms/77-12.htm">Psalm 77:12</a>, "I will consider all Your works and meditate on all Your mighty deeds." The practice of meditation is rooted in the Jewish tradition of pondering God's law and works, as seen in <a href="/joshua/1-8.htm">Joshua 1:8</a>. Culturally, meditation was a way to internalize and understand divine truths. Theologically, this phrase encourages believers to focus on God's past faithfulness and miraculous interventions, fostering trust and gratitude.
