God's All-Sufficient Rule

The verse's threefold declaration—"Judge, Lawgiver, King"—presents a complete picture of God's sovereign rule. Commentators explain this isn't a list of separate jobs, but a portrait of God's total sufficiency. He alone provides the justice, guidance, and royal protection His people need, culminating in their salvation. His presence is a comprehensive blessing.
