A King's True Glory
Commentators like Spurgeon and Ellicott highlight a stunning contrast in this verse. While earthly kings often display their glory through power and intimidation, God's divine majesty is revealed in His compassion. His glory is not just in His might, but in His condescension to uphold the weak and lift the burdened. This shows that caring for the vulnerable is a central aspect of God's kingly character.
