King of Glory is a name of God that only occurs in one psalm. It is associated with the Lord of hosts. All glory belongs to God; He is the source of glory.
The Hebrew word for glory (kavod) is sometimes used figuratively to mean “heavy” or “dense.” When we speak of a “weighty” person, someone who is honorable, worthy, or impressive, we come close to the way in which the word is used to describe God. Kavod includes “reputation” but is never detached from the actual reality of the worth and majesty of God. We honor and glorify God by giving Him appropriate respect, attention and obedience in recognition of His glory (Isa. 29:13).
