In conclusion, the incomparable majesty of God is set before us, in contrast with the feebleness of man, and he is put forward as the one and only fit Object of worship, alike to the spiritual (, ) and the material creation (), as well as to the psalmist himself ().

Seated on his everlasting throne, he challenges the adoration of the whole universe. And his kingdom ruleth over all (comp. ; , ).
