In biblical context, "holy" signifies being set apart and morally perfect. God's ways are often contrasted with human ways, which are flawed and sinful (<a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>). The holiness of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, seen in His laws, His interactions with Israel, and His ultimate plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. The holiness of God is also reflected in the tabernacle and temple practices, where only the consecrated could approach the Holy of Holies, symbolizing the separation between God's purity and human sinfulness.<p><b>What god is so great as our God?</b><br>This rhetorical question underscores the supremacy and uniqueness of the God of Israel. In the ancient Near Eastern context, many nations worshiped a pantheon of gods, each with limited power and domain. The psalmist declares the incomparable greatness of the one true God, who is sovereign over all creation. This echoes the declaration in <a href="/exodus/15-11.htm">Exodus 15:11</a>, "Who among the gods is like you, LORD?" and is a theme reiterated in the prophetic writings, such as <a href="/isaiah/40-18.htm">Isaiah 40:18</a>, where God is depicted as unparalleled. The greatness of God is ultimately revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, who embodies the fullness of God (<a href="/colossians/2-9.htm">Colossians 2:9</a>) and whose works and teachings demonstrate divine authority and power.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asaph.htm">Asaph</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/77.htm">Psalm 77</a>, Asaph was a prominent Levite singer and seer in David's court.
