Exegesis
Finally, ho basileus tōn aiōnōn {ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν αἰώνων | ho ba-si-leús tôn ai-ō-nō-n} apposes the divine addressee as “the King of the ages,” with the genitive expressing sovereign rule over all epochs. Balanced clause structure and parallelism are preserved in the translations to reflect the poetic form.
In context — Revelation 15:3
And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb , saying, “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God the Almighty ; just and true are Your ways, O King of the ages .”
