Is it wrong to refer to a man as "Reverend?"

Yes, that would be Psalm 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

This is one reason why I hesitate to use the term "Reverend" in reference to a man.

In other words, if the Bible states our God is "Reverend," I feel it is improper to use that same term to refer to a mere man.
