Matthew Poole and continuators on Philippians 2:11

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord , to the glory of God the Father.

By tongue, not onely every Language, People, and Nation is meant; because 'tis to be understood, as before particularized of Angels aswell as Men, for though Angels properly, and by nature want tongues, (aswell as knees, which are both here joined, and must not be sever'd in the Worship given to Christ) yet in their manner of speaking to Men, under an extraordinary dispensation, they may use them, (or that which is equivalent) 1 Cor. 13.1. and in a way proper to them.

Can confess, or express their adoration of Christ, Rev. 7.9, 11, 12. either with delight, or by a forc't subjection, Rev. 6.16. and acknowledge that he is Lord, i. e. of glory, Rom. 11.36. 1 Cor. 2.8. & 8.6. the Son of God, 2 Cor. 4.5. Heb. 1.2, 4. having onely power to command the Soul, and Conscience, Iam. 4.12. and to save, Heb. 7.25. being Lord both of the dead, and of the living, Rom. 14.9.

Some render in the glory of the Father. Either in that, the honour of Christ redoundeth to the honour of the Father, Prov. 10.1. with Ioh. 5.23. Eph. 1.6. or the Father doth most glorifie the Son in his Exaltation, who had most glorified him in his Humiliation, Ioh. 12.28. with 17.5, 6.
