John Gill Commentary Psalms 57:5

"Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth." — Psalms 57:5 (ASV)

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens
That is, show yourself to be God, that sit in the heavens, and are higher than they, by saving me, and disappointing my enemies; that I, and those that are with me, may magnify the Lord and exalt his name together. The Targum is, ``be you exalted above the angels of heaven, O God;''

[let] your glory [be] above all the earth ;
that is, above all the inhabitants of the earth, as the Chaldee paraphrase: let the glory of God in my deliverance be seen by all that dwell upon the earth; for the lower and more distressed his case and condition were, the more would the glory of God be displayed in bringing him out of it. Nothing lies nearer the hearts of the people of God than his glory; this is more desirable than their own salvation: David breathes after the one, when he says nothing of the other, that being uppermost; though his meaning is, that the one might be brought about by the other.
