What Does Psalms 66:5 Mean?
The invitation to come and see shifts the focus from declaration to direct observation. The works of God are not invisible or abstract; they are visible, historical, observable deeds. The psalmist calls people to examine evidence and draw conclusions about God's character.
Terrible (awesome) in His doing toward men means God's interventions in human history are marked by mighty power. Whether in judgment or deliverance, His acts command attention and inspire reverence.
