Psalms148:14

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people , the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him . Praise ye the LORD.

To wit, above the horns of all the people in the world, in respect of their spiritual and eternal priviledges, as it here follows. The born in Scripture doth commonly note strength, victory, glory and felicity, as Deut. 33. 17. and every where.

Either, 1. He is the praise, as God is called Deut. 10. 21. to wit, the God of their praise, as Psal. 109. 1. the chiefest object and matter of it: or, 2. which is the praise. Which work of God in exalting their horn is their glory, and maketh them praise-worthy, or obligeth and provoketh them in a singular manner to perform this great duty of praising God, which is so generally neglected by others.

By special relation and friendship and covenant, and by familiar intercourses, God manifesting his face and favour to them, and they frequently and solemnly approaching into his presence, and worshipping him at his footstool.
