Gill's Notes on the Bible

Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency,.... With excellent majesty, as I am decked and clothed, Psalms 93:1;

and array thyself with glory and beauty; appear in the most glorious and splendid manner thou canst, make the best figure thou art able, put on royal robes, and take thy seat and throne, and sit as a king or judge in state and pomp, and exert thyself to do the following things; or take my seat and throne as the judge of the whole earth, and try if thou canst govern the world better than I do; for these and the expressions following are said in an ironic manner.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency - That is, such as God has. Put on everything which you can, which would indicate rank, wealth, power, and see whether it could all be compared with the majesty of God; compare Psalms 104:1, “O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 40:10. Deck thyself now with majesty — Act like God, seeing thou hast been assuming to thyself perfections that belong to him alone.
