From the second interpretation, take this Note.
That which is very terrible to some, is a glory to others.
That is, It occasions them to show their glory, or causeth their glory to appear the more. Terror is the glory of the horse; his nostrils are never so glorious, as when you attempt to terrify him. When that which is terrible is put to a true believer, then the glory of his soul breaks out, then he shows forth his faith in God, hi• integrity and faithfulness towards God; terror is the glory of his soul, as terror is the glory of the horse, that is, it gives him occasion to show forth his glory.
That is, It occasions them to shew their glory, or causeth their glory to appear the more. Terror is the glory of the horse; his nostrils are never so glorious, as when you attempt to terrifie him. When that which is terrible is put to a true believer, then the glory of his soul breaks out, then he shews forth his faith in God, hi• integrity and faithfulness towards God; terror is the glory of his soul, as terror is the glory of the horse, that is, it gives him occasion to shew forth his glory.
