Does God play musical chairs? When the prayer service arrives at "HaMelech" - the leader loudly chants the first word, "The King," in a distinct, ancient melody, as if announcing the arrival of a government official. In this prayer, God sits upon an "exalted and uplifted throne," but God is said to sit upon other types of thrones as well:
הַמֶּֽלֶךְ יּוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רָם וְנִשָּׂא: שׁוֹכֵן עַד מָרוֹם וְקָדוֹשׁ שְׁמוֹ. וְכָתוּב רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהוה. לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה: בְּפִי יְשָׁרִים תִּתְרוֹמָם. וּבְדִבְרֵי צַדִּיקִים תִּתְבָּרַךְ. וּבִלְשׁוֹן חֲסִידִים תִּתְקַדָּשׁ. וּבְקֶֽרֶב קְדוֹשִׁים תִּתְהַלָּל:
The King Who sits on a throne [that is] exalted and uplifted. He Who dwells in eternity, exalted and holy is His Name. And it is written: “Joyfully exult in God, [you] righteous ones, for the upright, praise is fitting. Through the mouth of the upright, You are exalted, and with the words of the righteous You are blessed; and by the tongue of the pious, You are sanctified; and in the midst of the holy, You are extolled.
