• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Thou art the God, etc. - Thou art not only God of Israel, but God also of Assyria, and of all the nations of the world.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15Which dwellest between the cherubims - The reference is to the shechinah, or miraculous glory, which from time to time appeared above the mercy-seat from between the two cherubims, whose wings overshadowed the ark of the covenant (1 Kings 6:23-27; compare Exodus 25:22; Leviticus 16:2, etc.).
