Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - For thou art the Glory of their strength; or, "the Ornament" - that in which their strength and might as a people culminate. And in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. Thy favour towards us exalts us among the nations.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) Glory.--Better, ornament. The crown of a nation's strength is not the triumphs it wins, nor the prosperity it secures, but the spirit in which these are used. Humility, and not pride, acknowledgment of God, and not conceit in her wealth or power, was the ornament of Israel's strength, and made her greatness in her best days.Our horn shall be exalted.--See Note, Psalm 132:17. Modern Eastern proverbs, such as "What a fine horn he has!" spoken of a great man, still preserve the figure.
