Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Professor Cheyne transposes this verse and the next, but without any necessity. It is quite natural that the effect of the theophany on God's enemies should be noted first. The effect is that they are "confounded," or rather, covered with shame. The display of real Divine power makes manifest the impotency of the idols, and puts their worshippers to the blush. Worship him, all ye gods. The theophany is a call on the false gods to worship the true God.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Confounded--i.e., ashamed (Isaiah 42:17; Jeremiah 10:14). The same idea is conveyed by the very word "idols" in Hebrew--empty, worthless things, shaming those who worship them.It is doubtful whether the verbs here are to be taken as imperatives. So LXX., Vulgate, and Authorised Version. Probably a fact is stated.All ye gods.--Not "angels," as in LXX. (See Note, Psalm 8:5.) Here, however, the term is directly intended to include among superhuman beings the agencies worshipped by heathen nations as deities. The quotation Hebrews 1:6 (see Note, New Testament Commentary) is made from the LXX. of Deuteronomy 32:43. . . .
