God is Our Strength's Glory
Multiple commentators emphasize that our strength is not our own achievement but a gift from God. Albert Barnes notes that God is the 'glory' or 'ornament' of our strength, meaning our power finds its true beauty and honor in its divine source. John Calvin adds that this should lead us to give God all the praise, recognizing that He sustains us.
