God's Unmatched Authority
The psalm opens by using three powerful names for God: El, Elohim, and Jehovah. Commentators explain this isn't mere repetition but a formal declaration of the speaker's identity. He is the Mighty One, the one true God, and the self-existent Lord. This stacking of titles establishes His absolute and unmatched authority to speak, summon, and judge the entire world.
