Continuing on with exploring "the Beauty of Holiness"...
looking at the second part of Psalm 29:2:
In (or with) the beauty of holiness: בהדרת קדש behadrath kodesh, "the beautiful garments of holiness."
Beauty: this word means "adornment, ornament, glory, holy ornaments, garments worn at solemn
festivals (but not priestly garments).
Holiness: "to be set apart as sacred and unique"
In its fullness, the verse could read:
"Bow before Him, let your very breath, your every breath, testify of Him in total acceptance and awareness of the adornment, ornamentation, the holy weightiness (glory), holy accessories, and festal garments - all that is ours because of being set apart as sacred and unique"
Matthew Henry's Commentery explains it this way:

Matthew Henry's Commentery explains it this way:
And here, is it possible to list your crowns, your sceptres, your swords, your keys? Just so we can give them back to Him, and also use them to be for His a name and a praise? I know I must go and research - I know my swords, my key(s), where to find out about my crowns, but I had never considered sceptres before! (This perhaps could be another post!) But this I can do:"Give him your crowns; let them be laid at his feet; give him your sceptres, your swords, your keys, put all into his hand, that you, in the use of them, may be to him for a name and a praise."
bow in worship
breathe uttering the unutterable Holy Name
be beautiful in what He has bestowed
and in so doing we
bless Him, ourselves, and those around us
And I followed a link to this song just yesterday...a beautiful leading into a quiet time
of bowing, breathing, being and blessing...

Beautiful...I'm enjoying these...I think I missed a couple, so need to go back. Thank you Cindi!
I love the Cindy amplified version and the cliff notes reminder, bow, be, breathe and bless. Cindy have you ever considered writing a bible study? Do you teach? You have a gift for opening up the scriptures and bringing the richness out to wake up tired or jaded ears.
ever since you wrote about YHWH be in the in and out breath...I think about it more often. I like it. It comforts me and reminds me of just how holy He is.
I agree with Joybird. You have a gift to open scripture beautifully and in a way that is understandable and leads one to worship.
xo:)
