What does Psalms 50:23 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
23. offereth praise--(Psa 50:14), so that the external worship is a true index of the heart. ordereth ... aright--acts in a straight, right manner, opposed to turning aside (Psa 25:5). In such, pure worship and a pure life evince their true piety, and they will enjoy God's presence and favor.

I sall scheu til him, the hele of God; that es Jeshu, that he se him in the fairehed of his majeste - Old Psalter.
