Episode 102: To exult and exalt

Twice in Psalm 57, the psalmist writes: “Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth” (verses 5 and 11). As suggested in the previous episode, the psalmist exults in God, but that exultation also turns to exaltation in the closing verses. God’s love and faithfulness are again the reasons for the psalmist’s celebration, and the psalmist will not only praise God to the nations, but to the very skies.
