32 [1] [THOU SHALT RISE UP BEFORE THE HOARY HEAD.] Scripture mentions the hoary head because it earlier mentioned the dead and the aged are close to death, for the bodies of the old are considered dead. Note, our verse refers to all the old and to every hoary head.
[2] The meaning of *and thou shalt fear thy God* is, fear the Lord who shall punish you in your old age.
