I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Psalm 145:5
Majesty Comes from the Latin majestas. The words major and magnus come from this word. The word majesty means greatness. It speaks of the dignity and power ascribed to a sovereign.
Majesty In the NT, majesty is translated from the Greek word megalosune. The word means great or greatness. We use the prefix in our language today (mega). In the OT, majesty is translated from a number of Hebrew words. One means splendor. One refers to lifting up or things that are lifted up.
Majesty When speaking of God, majesty is used to express the greatness of God. It is a word of praise acknowledging the attributes of God. That which makes God who He is. That which makes Him greater than, lifted up above, man. It is also associated with an invitation to worship God because He is great.
Majesty God is lifted up on on high. This does not mean that God is far from us, out of our reach. He is near to us (Jer. 23:23; Acts 17:27). It means that God is far above us in greatness and is to be adored and respected. God is not our equal. He is of higher rank. He is the major, the magnus, the mega.
