“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.”
The affirmation that You are holy and dwell in the praises of Israel establishes God's holiness and the connection to God through worship. The holiness suggests God's transcendent moral perfection. The dwelling in praises suggests God's presence in the community's worship. This verse juxtaposes God's holiness with the speaker's distress, establishing the paradox central to the lament.
