Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.

But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.
KJV
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

But our God is in the heavens,.... His habitation is in the heavens, as the Targum; the Septuagint and Arabic versions add, "and in earth": he is in both, and fills both with his presence; and cannot be contained in either.

But our God is in the heavens —where he should be; above the reach of mortal sneers, over hearing all the vain jangling of men, but looking down with silent scorn upon the makers of the babel. Supreme above all opposing powers, the Lord reigneth upon a throne high and lifted up. Incomprehensible in essence, he rises above the loftiest thought of the wise; absolute in will and infinite in power, he is superior to the limitations which belong to earth and time.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
