Psalms 57:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth - praise for the deliverance anticipated, in the strong assurance of faith. Let men see (not merely a prayer, but a prophecy, that men shall see it, and therefore shall praise God) and declare that thou art raised above the heavens, and therefore art far above all the puny powers of the earth that oppose thee and thy people. In Psalms 57:9-10 God's mercy and truth are "praised" among the people of the earth, and are represented as reaching "unto the heavens:" here God and His glory are declared to be lifted above both the heavens unit the earth.
