2. The Meaning

Name in this place signifies: 1 God himself (1 Kings 5:5): He shall build a house to my name. 2 His attributes, as his justice, mercy, etc. 3 His works, creatures, and judgments. 4 His word. 5 His honor and praise arising from all these.

For God is known to us by all these, as men are known by their names; and as all a man's praise and glory lies in his name, so all the glory of God is in these.
