hod denotes displayed majesty or honor, especially attributed to God and also associated with royal or imposing stature.

The term most often marks majesty attributed to God, set alongside exaltation, strength, praise, or rule. It also describes royal honor bestowed or withheld and, in a smaller group of passages, an imposing quality associated with a person, clothing, or a horse.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the noun with “splendor,” and in some clauses uses “majesty,” “glory,” or “royal splendor.” In a few verses, including Hosea 14:7, Psalm 21:6, and Psalm 8:2, the translation does not clearly isolate the noun's contribution.
