A Symbol of Strength

Commentators explain that the 'horn' is a powerful biblical symbol for strength, power, and exaltation. The psalmist expresses confidence that while the wicked perish, God will lift up the righteous. Scholars like John Gill note this applies historically to King David, prophetically to the Messiah, and personally to every believer who trusts in God.
