The Hebrew root for "reigns" is "מָלַךְ" (malak), which means to be king or to rule. This word is often used in the Old Testament to describe God's supreme authority over the universe. Historically, the concept of God as King was central to Israel's understanding of their relationship with Him. In a world where earthly kings wielded significant power, the Israelites found comfort and assurance in the knowledge that their God was the ultimate ruler, transcending all human authority. This phrase invites believers to trust in God's perfect governance and His ability to orchestrate all things according to His divine will. over the nations God is seated on His holy throne Parallel Commentaries ...
