The psalmist exhorts the celestial7. The terrestrial 11. And the rational creatures to praise God He has raised up a horn for His people The phrase "raised up a horn" is a metaphor deeply rooted in ancient Near Eastern culture, symbolizing strength, power, and victory. The "horn" often represents the might of an animal, such as a bull, which uses its horns for defense and dominance. In the Hebrew context, the word "horn" (קֶרֶן, qeren) signifies not only physical strength but also a divinely granted authority or kingship. This imagery is used throughout the Old Testament to denote God's provision of strength and deliverance for His people. Historically, the raising of a horn can be seen as God elevating a leader or a savior, such as King David, who was anointed to lead and protect Israel. In a broader theological sense, Christians see this as a prophetic reference to Jesus Christ, the ultimate "horn" of salvation, who was raised up to deliver His people from sin and death. the praise of all His saints of Israel, a people near to Him Hallelujah! The raising of the horn evidently implies some victory, or assurance of victory, which, no doubt, gave the first impulse for this song of praise. (See Introduction). For the figure see Note, Psalm 75:4-5. The verse is a repetition of a frequent statement of the Psalms. While poetically all the universe, inanimate as well as animate, all men, heathen as well as Hebrews, can be called to sing "hallelujah," it remains as it has ever been, the covenant privilege of Israel. This explanation disposes at once of the charge which has been brought against this verse of narrowing a grand universal anthem, and ending the psalm with an anti-climax. Verse 14. - He also exalteth the horn of his people. Great as God is, his greatness does not separate him from his human creatures. On the contrary, it makes the union between himself and them closer. His might enables him to confer benefits on his people - to "exalt their horn;" i.e. to increase their glory and their strength, and set them up above their enemies. The praise of all his saints. The construction is doubtful. Some regard "praise" as in apposition with "horn," and understand that God, by exalting the "horn" (power) of his saints, exalts also their "praise" or "renown." Others imagine an ellipse, and translate, "Praise belongs to all his saints" (Kay); or, "Seemly is praise for all his saints" (Cheyne). Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. The "children of Israel" are nearer to God than others, since he has taken them to himself as his own peculiar people, and both "draws nigh" to them (Psalm 69:11), and draws them near to him (Jeremiah 30:21).
