Exegesis
The addressees are expressed through pantes hoi douloi autou {πάντες οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ | pán-tes hoi doû-loi au-toû} “all His servants” and kai hoi phoboumenoi auton {καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι αὐτόν | kaí hoi phō-boú-me-noi au-tón} “and those who fear Him,” two substantival participial groups marked by the article and coordinated with kai, highlighting both service and reverent fear.
The closing phrase hoi mikroi kai hoi megaloi {οἱ μικροὶ καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι | hoi mi-kroí kaí hoi me-gá-loi} “the small and the great” is a merism, expressing the totality of those summoned regardless of status. The English renderings preserve the imperative force (“praise” / “give praise”), keep the vocative sense by addressing “all His servants” and “all who honor Him,” and maintain the climactic inclusiveness of “small” and “great.”
