Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - The loftiness of man. This verse interrupts the sequence of the thoughts somewhat awkwardly. It is a sort of refrain (see ver. 11; and for the use of refrains in Hebrew poetry, see Exodus 15:1, 21; Psalm evil. 8, 15, 21, 31), and perhaps comes in for rhythmical reasons, to the detriment of the sense.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down.--Iteration is used as the most solemn form of emphasis. That was the burden of the prophet's song.
