God is Zion's Righteous King.

At some point in the past, my mom gave me a copy of a list entitled, "365 Names, Titles, Attributes of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." I like to reference this list when seeking to find verses for prayer. Tonight, I came across this attribute: God is Zion's Righteous King. The juxtaposition of attributes in the title alone surprise me. Zion is a place on earth, yet God is righteous, a quality that only a heavenly being can perfectly possess. The verses below juxtapose similar qualities. God is holy, yet dwells on earthly mountains. He receives praise from earthly people. He is a victorious ruler, but rides on a lowly donkey, a beast of burden. How can God be all of these things? Because he is God, unfathomable and past finding out.
