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 Él mandará ayuda del cielo para rescatarme,
y avergonzará a los que me persiguen.
Interludio
Mi Dios enviará su amor inagotable y su fidelidad.

4 Me rodean leones feroces
que con avidez devoran a sus presas humanas;
sus dientes penetran como lanzas y flechas,
y sus lenguas cortan como espadas.

5 ¡Exaltado seas, oh Dios, por encima de los cielos más altos!
Que tu gloria brille sobre toda la tierra.

6 Mis enemigos me tendieron una trampa;
estoy cansado de tanta angustia.
Cavaron un pozo profundo en mi camino,
pero ellos mismos cayeron en la trampa.
Interludio

7 Mi corazón está confiado en ti, oh Dios;
mi corazón tiene confianza.
¡Con razón puedo cantar tus alabanzas!
