Blog Post 10/01/2024 - God’s Holiness [excerpts from Psalm 97]

 


In Psalm 97 the glory of the Lord foretells a world-wide salvation and that peoples of all nations will believe in Christ [St. Athanasius].

The Lord is king, let earth rejoice, let all the coastlands be glad. Cloud and darkness are his raiment; his throne, justice and right….  His lightnings light up the world, the earth trembles at the sight.

The skies proclaim his justice; all peoples see his glory….  Zion hears and is glad;
the people of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, O Lord.  For you indeed are the Lord most high above all the earth, exalted far above all spirits.

Light shines forth for the just and joy for the upright of heart.  Rejoice, you just, in the Lord; give glory to his holy name.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.  Amen.

God’s holiness blesses all the people and the entire cosmos.

May God Be Praised.
