Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. Be ruleth by his power ] His omnipotence is employed to support his followers, and cast down his enemies.
His eyes behold the nations ] He sees what they purpose, what they intend to do; and what they will do, if he restrain them not.
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. ] They shall not succeed in their designs: they have their own aggrandizement in view, but thou wilt disappoint and cast them down.
Selah. ] Mark this. It is true.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - The holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to lau that Name which is above every name, to make the praise of Jesu glorious, both by word and deed; that others may be led to glorify his also. But nothing can bring men to do this aright, unless his effectua grace create their hearts anew unto holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious deliverances it effects, are mor wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
