As if Elihu had said, All these things God doth; and tell me then, is not terrible Majesty with God? in God, or with God is terrible Majesty. The word which we render Majesty, ¹comes (say Grammarians) from a root which signifies to confess, to acknowledge, to celebrate, because Majesty, Greatness, or Excellency is and ought to be much acknowledged, confessed, and celebrated: The word notes in general, any laudable or praise-worthy thing. With God all that is, which is worthy to be and ought to be commended, praised, honoured by men and Angels. We translate well, With God is Majesty: Others, With God is praise. Jacob saith of Judah, the Kingly Tribe (Gen. 49.8.) Thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise. The Vulgar Latin expresseth it thus; With God is fearful praise.
