Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 57:5

5. Be thou exalted , O God above the heavens : let thy glory be above all the earth .

Glorifie thy Power, and Goodness, and Justice, and Faithfulness by my Deliverance, all which are exposed to Censure and Reproach, whilst thou sufferest ungodly Wretches to oppress and Triumph over the Innocent and Righteous, that put their trust in thee.

(i. e.) Higher than the Heavens, or to the highest degree possible: Or above all the false Gods, which are supposed to reside in Heaven.

(i. e.) Above all Men upon Earth, some whereof do now Audaciously lift up themselves against thee, and above thee. Or, though (as the Hebrew Particle is commonly rendred, and it is no New thing, to have the same Word or Particle diversly taken in the same Verse, as hath been formerly shewed) the whole Earth; not onely amongst thine own People, but so that even the Heathens, shall be forced to acknowledge and admire thy Glorious deeds:
