Senses in use

  1. Majestic splendor or honor · dominant

    The noun marks an exalted quality in varied settings. In Psalm 104:1 the APB renders the LORD as clothed with “splendor and glory”; in Isaiah 2:10 it places the term in the clause about people hiding before the LORD’s majesty; and in Proverbs 31:25 it occurs in the description of a woman’s clothing as “strength and glory.” It also appears in descriptions of a majestic tree in Leviticus 23:40, the LORD’s work in Psalm 111:3, and a king’s majesty in Psalm 45:4.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB uses wording such as “splendor,” “majesty,” “glory,” “beauty,” and “majestic.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, those variations show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed one-to-one renderings.
