‘You,
O Lord, are exalted for ever... The Lord reigns, He is robed in
majesty...’(Psalm 92:8; Psalm 93:1-2). The Lord is ‘exalted’. We are to
exalt Him in our worship. He is not exalted because we exalt Him. We
exalt Him because He is exalted. He is ‘exalted far above all gods’.
That is why we sing, ‘I exalt Thee, O Lord’. ‘He is exalted, the King is
exalted on high’- This is the truth concerning the Lord. ‘I will praise
Him’- This is our response to His truth. We sing, ‘Jesus, we enthrone
You, we proclaim You our King’. This is our response to the eternal
truth concerning our Saviour: ‘The Lord is enthroned as King for ever’.
‘From all eternity’ the Lord is ‘robed in majesty’. Let us respond to
His majesty. Let us ‘magnify’ the Lord - ‘O Lord our God, how majestic
is Thy Name’(Psalm 97:9; Psalm 29:10; Mission Praise, 158,217,388,507).
