Commentary on Psalms 57:11

Theological / Devotional

Be thou exalted. The refrain, identical with v. 5. “Heaven and earth have … a mutually interwoven history, and the blessed, glorious end of this is in the sunrise of the Divine glory over both” (Delitzsch).

Let thy glory. The visible brightness of divine glory is but a reminder of the infinite perfection and beauty of the divine character. That which may be seen is ever to impress upon created beings the infinite goodness of God.
