God is to be praised (1–6). We do not know what military victory is celebrated here, but it brought great glory to the Lord. The enemy’s fortresses (v. 4), soldiers (v. 5),and equipment (v. 6) were unable to stand before the Lord of hosts. It is encouraging to know that God is for us in the battles of life.
God is to be feared (7–12). Man’s fury does not frighten God (Ps. 2:1–4). In fact, He uses it to bring Himself glory, like a woman wearing a special garment (v. 10). God is long-suffering, but one day He will arise to judge the wicked. Meanwhile, His people must also fear Him and be faithful to keep their vows to Him (v. 11). Never trifle with God.
“Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.”
