“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.”
The psalmist opens with the declaration that the LORD is great and worthy of praise in the city of our God, his holy mountain. The affirmation of God's greatness and worthiness of praise is grounded specifically in Zion, God's holy mountain and the seat of God's presence in the ancient world. The psalm celebrates the city of God and its role in God's purposes. The opening establishes that praise of God is inseparably connected to the recognition of God's presence in Zion.
