Jehovah, Who is "the great, mighty, and terrible God" (Deuteronomy 10:17), manifests Himself not only in -mighty acts" of deliverance (Psalms 145:4), but in -terrible acts" of judgement, which inspire His enemies with terror, and His people with reverence. Cp. Psalms 65:5. Mightis a different word from that in Psalms 145:4; Psalms 145:12, and may be rendered strength, to bring out the connexion of the two words with the epithets strong and mightyin Psalms 24:8.
