He appoints ministers, porters, priests, and musicians, to attend the ark Tremble before Him, all the earth. This phrase calls for a universal reverence and awe before God. The term "tremble" suggests a deep respect and recognition of God's majesty and power. In the biblical context, this is a call to worship and acknowledge God's sovereignty over all creation. The phrase "all the earth" emphasizes the inclusivity of this call, indicating that every nation and people are subject to God's authority. This echoes the sentiment found in Psalm 96:9, which also calls for worship in the beauty of holiness and for the earth to tremble before the Lord. The idea of trembling before God is consistent with the biblical theme of the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). It reflects a recognition of God's holiness and the appropriate human response to His divine presence. The world is firmly established; It cannot be moved. Persons / Places / Events 1.
