Sing forth the honor of his name – That is, Celebrate in appropriate praise the honor due to his name. Make that honor known in connection with songs.
Make his praise glorious – literally, place honor, his praise; that is, Give him honor; give him praise. The meaning is, Set forth his praise with songs – with music – with shouts; – that will be the appropriate expression of the praise which is due to him.

Sing forth the honour of his name,…. Meaning not any particular names of the Messiah, such as in Isa 9:6; or his name “Jesus”, a Saviour; though they are all honourable and glorious, and furnish out sufficient matter for a song: but rather that by which he was made known to the sons of men, his Gospel; see Ac 9:15. Which is a glorious Gospel; the truths of which may be expressed in a song of praise, to the honour and glory of Christ, and to the instruction and profit of men, Col 3:16. Or rather Christ himself is meant; his name often designs himself, Mt 12:21. There that is due unto him, and ought to be given which is done when all divine perfections and works are ascribed to him, divine worship is paid him, and the glory of salvation given him; which may be done in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs;
make his praise glorious: let the high praises of him be in your mouths; give him, the most excellent praise; praise him in the best manner. This is done when we sing his praise with grace in our hears in exercise; when we with one mind and mouth glorify him; and when we honour him, the Son, as we honour the Father.

(2) Sing forth.Literally, play on the harp.
Make his praise glorious.So the LXX., but the construction is dubious. Literally, put glory his praise, meaning perhaps, in parallelism with the first clause, make the Divine glory the subject of your praise. But the opening words of the next verse, say unto God, how, &c, are so bald that a suspicion arises as to the arrangement of the text. Perhaps by bringing back the initial words of Psa. 66:3 we get the true sense, ascribe glory (and) speak praise to God.

2. Make his praise glorious Give glory as his praise, or make his glory praise. The nouns are in apposition, and the sense not easy. The English version, by treating one as an adjective, has given euphony of sound without clearness of thought. The idea seems to be, that as the praise of God consists in thankfully confessing and declaring his acts, we thus make his peculiar glory to consist of praise. This is the thought repeated and exegetically amplified in the next verse.

Psa 66:2. Make his praise glorious Give him the glory of his praise; i.e. The glory which is due to his praise, and belongs to it. See Isa 42:12. Mudge. Some render it, Give him glory by praising him.

Psa 66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
Ver. 2. Make his praise glorious ] Heb. Put glory to his praise; so Jos 7:19 . God’s glory is as himself, eternal and infinite, no way capable of our addition or detraction; howbeit, to try how we prize it, and will exalt it, he declareth that he accounteth himself made more glorious by us when we receive him into our hearts as King of glory, and praise him accordingly.
