Christ, Our Exalted Horn
Commentators explain that God 'lifting up the horn of his people' signifies granting them strength, victory, and honor. Several scholars see this as a direct reference to Jesus Christ, the 'horn of salvation' (Luke 1:69). He is our exalted Prince and Savior, who provides our ultimate defense and gives us every reason for praise.
