Salmos 57:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 57:5

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens
That is, show thyself to be God, that sittest in the heavens, and art higher than they, by saving me, and disappointing mine enemies; that I, and those that are with me, may magnify the Lord and exalt his name together. The Targum is,

``be thou exalted above the angels of heaven, O God;''

[let] thy glory [be] above all the earth;
that is, above all the inhabitants of the earth, as the Chaldee paraphrase: let the glory of God in my deliverance be seen by all that dwell upon the earth; for by how much the lower and more distressed his case and condition were, by so much the more would the glory of God be displayed in bringing him out of it. Nothing lies nearer the hearts of the people of God than his glory; this is more desirable than their own salvation: David breathes after the one, when he says nothing of the other, that being uppermost; though his meaning is, that the one might be brought about by the other.

Salmos 57:5 In-Context

3 El enviará desde los cielos, y me salvará de la infamia del que me devora; (Selah) Dios enviará su misericordia y su verdad.

4 Mi vida está entre leones; estoy echado entre hijos de hombres que echan llamas; sus dientes son lanzas y saetas, y su lengua cuchillo agudo.

5 Ensálzate sobre los cielos, oh Dios; sobre toda la tierra se ensalze tu gloria.

6 Red han armado a mis pasos; mi alma se ha abatido; hoyo han cavado delante de mí; cayeron en medio de él. (Selah.)

7 Pronto está mi corazón, oh Dios, mi corazón está dispuesto; cantaré, y diré salmos.
