What is the context?
The nations tremble before the Lord enthroned above the cherubim. His greatness in Zion is joined to exaltation over all peoples.
The mighty King loves justice and establishes equity in Jacob. The repeated confession of holiness does not detach Him from righteous action.
The call to exalt and worship Him belongs with this character. Majesty cannot be used here to make injustice acceptable simply because it is powerful.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley connects the throne and footstool with the ark and emphasizes rule exercised in righteousness. His reading of the older holiness wording should not replace the BSB’s repeated description of God as holy.
