253. [verse 11] 'Saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take to Thyself glory and honour and power' signifies the confession that the Lord, because He is Divine Truth and Divine Good, has the kingdom by virtue of merit and justice. 'Confession' is signified by 'saying'; that it is 'by virtue of merit and justice' is signified by 'Thou art worthy, O Lord'; that He is Divine Truth and Divine Good is signified by 'glory and honour', as above (n. 249); that He has the kingdom is signified by 'take to Thyself power'. Accordingly, these things gathered together into one meaning signify the confession that the Lord, because He is Divine Truths and Divine Good, has the kingdom by virtue of merit and justice.
