But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn - the buffalo, or the wild ox; Hebrew, Reem: i:e., thou exaltest me to strength and dignity.
I shall be anointed with fresh oil - the emblem of gladness; an image from the practice of anointing the head with rich unguents at a feast. The "I" here in the person of the Psalmist represents all the godly. Their elevation follows necessarily upon the ruin of the ungodly (Psalms 92:9). Because their Lord is "most high forevermore" (Psalms 92:8), they are 'exalted' on high by Him. He who is height itself, makes them high. Israel, as the representative people of God, has the same height predicated of her, and under the same image of the Reem's horns (Numbers 23:22; Numbers 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17). The wicked now 'lift up their horn on high;' but it shall soon be abased to the dust (Psalms 75:4-5; Psalms 75:10).
