For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
This psalm speaks not of the kingdom under Moses and the prophets, but of Christ's kingdom erected by the Gospel. The Psalmist commends it by its greatness and glory, which rightly compels our reverent fear, yet shows it established for the salvation of sinners, which makes it amiable and full of mercy.

The Lord reigns high above all the earth, exalted far above all gods, and the day is coming when every soul shall see it and bow. This is our joy now: to watch the idols fall and all mankind render to Him alone the glory that belongs to Him only.

Zion hears the conquest of Christ's enemies and is glad, very glad; the daughters of Judah triumph in His victories. Yet mark this: all the earth should rejoice at His kingdom, but only the sons of Zion actually do. The faithful find their pleasure in God's glory and His judgments.
