The Lord is exalted, &c.] These are the words of the church, or of true believers, setting the praise and glory of God, on account of the victory and spoil of their enemies; by which the Lord is exalted, magnified, and honoured, as he will be in the hearts and mouths of his people when these times shall come; (see <661115>Revelation 11:15) (<661501>Revelation 15:1,2 19:1,2) this will be true of Christ, and indeed this will be the time when he, and he alone, shall be exalted, (<230217>Isaiah 2:17): for he dwelleth on high; in the highest heaven, and is above his greatest enemies, and can, and will, pour down his wrath and vengeance on them: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness; the church of God, where Christ her King will reign in righteousness, and when all the administrations of his kingly power and government will appear to be just and true; where his word shall be faithfully preached, and his ordinances duly administered; and when all his subjects and people shall be righteous, and live soberly and righteously. The Targum is, “with those that do true judgment and righteousness.”
