The act of exalting God is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms, reflecting the importance of recognizing God's sovereignty. In biblical context, exalting God involves both verbal praise and a lifestyle that honors Him. This aligns with the first commandment, which calls for exclusive devotion to God (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3</a>). The use of "our God" indicates a personal relationship and covenantal bond between God and His people, reminiscent of the covenant established with Israel at Sinai (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>).<p><b>and worship at His holy mountain</b><br>The "holy mountain" refers to Mount Zion, the location of the temple in Jerusalem, which was considered the dwelling place of God among His people. Worship at this site was central to Jewish religious life, as it was where sacrifices were offered and festivals celebrated. The mountain symbolizes God's presence and His chosen place for worship (<a href="/psalms/48.htm">Psalm 48:1-2</a>). This phrase also foreshadows the New Testament understanding of worship, where Jesus speaks of worshiping "in spirit and truth" (<a href="/john/4-23.htm">John 4:23-24</a>), indicating that true worship transcends physical locations.<p><b>for the LORD our God is holy</b><br>The holiness of God is a fundamental attribute, signifying His purity, separateness, and moral perfection. This holiness demands reverence and awe from His people. The declaration of God's holiness is a central theme in the Bible, seen in the seraphim's cry in <a href="/isaiah/6-3.htm">Isaiah 6:3</a>, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty." God's holiness is also a call for His people to be holy, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>, "Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy." This phrase underscores the reason for worship and exaltation, as God's holiness is both a source of comfort and a standard for His followers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, representing the God of Israel, who is to be exalted and worshiped.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/h/holy_mountain.htm">Holy Mountain</a></b><br>This refers to Mount Zion, a significant place in Jewish worship and the location of the temple in Jerusalem, symbolizing God's presence among His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/worship.htm">Worship</a></b><br>The act of reverence and adoration directed towards God, emphasizing the relationship between the worshiper and the divine.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/e/exaltation_of_god.htm">Exaltation of God</a></b><br>We are called to lift up the name of the LORD, recognizing His supreme authority and majesty in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_in_holiness.htm">Worship in Holiness</a></b><br>Worship is not just an act but a lifestyle that reflects God's holiness.
