But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

But thou, Lord, art most high forevermore - literally, 'art height,' etc.; the abstract used for the concrete, to imply that the essence of all that is high is concentrated in Yahweh. When God and the cause of holiness seem low, God is really never higher than then; because out of seeming weakness He perfects the greatest strength. When the wicked seem high, they are then on the verge of being cast down forever. The believer who can realize this will not despair at the time of his own depression, and of the seeming exaltation of the wicked. If we can feel 'Yahweh most high forevermore,' we can well be unruffled, however low we lie.
