Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
15:4 Who will not fear . . . and glorify your name? This rhetorical question (cp. Jer 10:7) assumes that only a fool would fail to do so (cp. Rev 14:7; 16:9; see Pss 14:1; 53:1). • God alone is holy: See Rev 16:5; Lev 11:44; 1 Pet 1:16. God’s holiness is the basis for our worship and salvation. • All nations will . . . worship: Some will be forced to acknowledge God (cp. Phil 2:10-11), but all will recognize that God’s deeds and judgments have been revealed and are righteous and just.
