Holiness is a central attribute of God, setting Him apart from all creation. In the Old Testament, God's holiness is often associated with His separateness and His divine nature ( Isaiah 6:3). The holiness of God is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, emphasizing His transcendence and the reverence He commands. This holiness is also a call for His people to be holy ( Leviticus 19:2), reflecting His character in their lives. enthroned on the praises of Israel
This phrase suggests that God is metaphorically seated or dwelling in the praises offered by His people, Israel. The imagery of God being enthroned indicates His sovereignty and kingship. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a throne symbolized authority and rule. The idea of God being enthroned on praises highlights the importance of worship and adoration as a means of acknowledging His reign. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to offer sacrifices of praise (Hebrews 13:15). The phrase also points to the communal aspect of worship in Israel, where collective praise was a significant part of their religious life, as seen in the Psalms and other liturgical practices. Persons / Places / Events 1. DavidTraditionally attributed as the author of Psalm 22, David was the second king of Israel and a man after God's own heart. This psalm is a prophetic and messianic psalm, often seen as a foreshadowing of Christ's suffering. 2. IsraelThe nation chosen by God, representing His covenant people. In this context, Israel's praises are seen as a throne for God, highlighting the communal worship and reverence of God by His people. 3. GodThe central figure of the psalm, depicted as holy and worthy of praise. His holiness is emphasized as being distinct and set apart, deserving of the worship of His people. Teaching Points God's HolinessGod's holiness is central to His nature. It is a reminder of His purity, righteousness, and otherness. As believers, we are called to reflect on His holiness in our worship and daily lives. The Power of PraisePraise is not just an act of worship but a throne for God. When we praise, we invite God's presence into our midst, acknowledging His sovereignty and majesty. Community WorshipThe collective praises of God's people create a dwelling place for Him. This emphasizes the importance of gathering together in worship, as our united voices exalt God. Trust in God's SovereigntyEven in times of distress, as David experienced, recognizing God's holiness and enthronement through praise can bring comfort and assurance of His control over all circumstances. Living a Life of WorshipWorship is not confined to songs or gatherings but is a lifestyle. Our actions, words, and thoughts should continually reflect God's holiness and our reverence for Him.

Does God dwell in the praises of His people?
Psalm 22:1 – Does the writer’s cry of abandonment contradict other biblical depictions of God’s faithfulness to the righteous?
What defines a psalm?(3) But.--In spite of his seeming desertion the poet still believes Jehovah is the God of the covenant--still the Holy One in whom His people could trust. The phrase "inhabiting the praises of Israel," recalls the more usual "thou that dwellest between the cherubims" (1Samuel 4:4;2Samuel 6:2;Psalm 80:1;Psalm 99:1, where see Note). But the idea here is more spiritual. The ever-ascending praises of His people become a throne for the Divine King, and take the place of the outstretched wings of the cherubim. Perhaps there is a reminiscence ofExodus 15:11-12. This explanation is at once more literal and better than the Rabbinical, "enthronedasthe praises." (Comp. Aquila: "as the hymns.") . . . Verse 3. - But thou art holy. Still God is holy; the Sufferer casts no reproach upon him, but "commits himself to him that judgeth righteously" ( 1 Peter 2:23). O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. God is seen enthroned in his sanctuary, where the praises and prayers of Israel are ever being offered up to him. If he hears them, he will assuredly, in his own good time, hear the Sufferer.
