  • פעל seems to be a collective noun: "his work" (ESV, NET) >> "everything he does" (NLT; cf. GNT, CEV, CSB, LUT, HFA, NGÜ). Cf. Deut. 32:4—הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלֹו
  • The nouns glory (הוׂד) and majesty (הָדָר) might be translated "glorious and majestic."[1] For the pair הֹוד וְהָדָר, see also Pss. 21:6; 45:4; 96:6 // 1 Chron 16:27; 104:1; Job 40:10. These are the qualities of a king.
  1. ↑ Cf. Peshitta ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ; cf. GKC 141c—"the employment of a substantive as predicate of a noun-clause is especially frequent, either when no corresponding adjective exists... or when the attribute is intended to receive a certain emphasis."
