For now, more than in the days of Utumno ere his pride was humbled, his hatred devoured him, and in the domination of his servants and the inspiring of them with lust of evil he spent his spirit. Nonetheless his majesty as one of the Valar long remained, though turned to terror, and before his face all save the mightiest sank into a dark pit of fear.

these paragraf is from silmarillion in Chapter 9 "Of the Flight of the Noldor" when morgoth escaped from valinor.

who can tell me what does it mean exactly?: (especially underlined sentence)
"Nonetheless his majesty as one of the Valar long remained, though turned to terror, and before his face all save the mightiest sank into a dark pit of fear"
