943. And glorify thy name. That this signifies the worship of the Lord from the truths that are from that good, is evident from the signification of glorifying the name of the Lord, as denoting to worship Him from the truths that are from good. For by the name of the Lord are signified all those things by which He is worshipped; see above (n. 102, 135, 696, 815); and by glorifying Him, or giving glory to Him, is signified, to live according to His Divine truths; see above (n. 874); and to live according to His Divine truths, is to worship Him, as was said in the article just preceding.
Continuation:-
Man has the affection of truth, when he loves the truth and turns away from falsity. He has the affection of good, when he loves good uses, and turns away from evil uses. He has the affection of bearing fruit, when he loves to do goods and to be serviceable. All heavenly joy is in and from these affections; this joy cannot be described by comparisons; for it is super-eminent, and is also eternal.
