Bowing Before The King Of All Nations

I will praise you in the great assembly.

I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.

The poor will eat and be satisfied.

All who seek the LORD will praise him.

Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.

The whole earth will acknowledge the LORD and return to him.

All the families of the nations will bow down before him.

For royal power belongs to the LORD.

He rules all the nations.

Psalm 22:25-28

Presidents and rulers often hold the reins of power for years. But inevitably they lose their power and pass from the scene. After a few generations, they may even be forgotten by most people. Yet there is one King who will never pass away. He will rule all the nations forever and ever. The whole earth will acknowledge his reign and bow before him, saying: “Royal power belongs to the Lord. He rules all the nations.” Earthly rulers rise and fall, but our Lord, the King of all nations, reigns forever.

Bow before the King of kings. Worship his holy name.

• Sovereign Lord, you are King over all nations. I bow down before you . . .
