The words are based directly on Psalm 97:9 (KJV: For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.) These may be repeated in different combinations depending on the arrangement being used.

It is set to an unnamed tune. This has a 4/4 time signature. In the key of G, the first few notes of the melody are A A A_ A _ A A AB A_
