Glory's True Source
Commentators agree that the king's glory is not self-made but is a direct result of God's saving action. Scholars like Calvin and Barnes note this demonstrates that true greatness and honor come from dependence on God's power and favor, not from human strength or personal achievement. The glory is found entirely 'in thy salvation.'
