Adam Clarke Bible CommentaryPsalms 108

Even with my glory - My greatest glory shall be in publishing thy praise. Some make the glory here to mean the Lord himself; some, the Ark of the covenant; some, the Soul of the psalmist; others, his Tongue; some, the Gift of Prophecy; and some, the psalmist's Spirit or Vein of poetry. See the notes on Psalm 57:8.

Among the people - The Jews.

Among the nations - The Gentiles. Wherever this Psalm is sung or read, either among Jews or Gentiles, David may be said to sing praise to God.

God hath spoken in his holiness - בקדשו bekodsho ; some think this means in his Holy One, referring to the Prophet Jeremiah, who predicted the captivity, its duration of seventy years, and the deliverance from it.

The strong city - The possession of the metropolis is a sure proof of the subjugation of the country.

Through God we shall do valiantly - From him we derive our courage, from him our strength, and by him our success.
