Psalms 93:5

93:5 The rules you set down ¹  are completely reliable. ² 

Holiness ³  aptly adorns your house, O Lord, forever. ⁴ 

Ezekiel 42:12

42:12 were the chambers ⁵  which were toward the south. There was an opening at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east when one enters.

Ezekiel 42:1

Chambers for the Temple

42:1 Then he led me out to the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and opposite the building on the north.

Colossians 3:17

3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:2

3:2 Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth,

Colossians 1:16

1:16 for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him – all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, ⁶  whether principalities or powers – all things were created through him and for him.

¹ tn Traditionally “your testimonies.” The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to the demands of God’s covenant law. See Ps 19:7.

² sn The rules you set down. God’s covenant contains a clear, reliable witness to his moral character and demands.

³ sn Holiness refers here to God’s royal transcendence (see vv. 1-4), as well as his moral authority and perfection (see v. 5a).

⁴ tn Heb “for your house holiness is fitting, O Lord, for length of days.”

⁵ tc The MT apparently evidences dittography, repeating most of the last word of the previous verse: “and like the openings of.”

⁶ tn BDAG 579 s.v. κυριότης 3 suggests “bearers of the ruling powers, dominions” here.
