This is the entry from Strong's dictionary for the word translated as majesty:
H1348 - גאות - gê'ûth - gay-ooth' - From H1342; the same as H1346: - excellent things, lifting up, majesty, pride, proudly, raging.
Heavenly Father, you are majestic. You are the King of the universe, and you reign in complete sovereignty. Without compromising any of your authority, you are infinitely kind, generous, merciful, and gracious. Lord, creation is the work of your hands, and it is a testimony of the infinite height of your intellect. Lord God, please let me see you more clearly, that I may be more humble in your presence and the presence of my fellow man. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
that's a great verse, Shane. Power and grace are never combined anywhere in religion like they are in the God of the Bible. And I love the comparative translations!
