The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his Name; literally, the glory of his Name. Bring an. offering, and come into his courts. The parallel expression in 1 Chronicles 16:29 is, "Come before him." "Courts" would be inappropriate until the temple was built.

(For the bringing of "an offering" (minchah) by the Gentiles, see Malachi 1:11.
