Exegesis

The prepositional phrase en onomati kyriou {ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου | èn o-nó-ma-ti ku-rí-ou} ‘in the name of the Lord’ indicates divine authority, while en tois hypsistois {ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις | èn toîs hyp-sí-stois} ‘in the highest places’ adds spatial and spiritual exaltation. The English renderings consolidate the Greek participial sequences into more direct clauses, preserving the original liturgical rhythm and theological emphasis.
