Verse 7
- Arise to worship? The phrase "also shall worship" seems to suggest that the "arising" of the kings is analagous or at least related to worshiping the Lord. Usually we think of bending down to our knees to worship. Why is the word arise used here?

Lexical notes
[edit]
Verse 7
- Shall also bow down. The Hebrew word used here for princes seems to mean "bow down" forming an interesting contrast with the rising up of the kings that is lost in the KJV.
- Arise to worship? In several other passages, arising precedes bowing: Gen 19:1; Gen 23:7; 1 Sam 20:41; 1 Sam 25:41; 1 Kgs 2:19.
