Psalms 48:10

According to thy name As is thy name (R.V.). God's revelation of His power and lovingkindness receives worldwide celebration. Cp. Isaiah 33:13. To other nations beside Judah the destruction of the great tyrant's army was a cause for rejoicing. Cp. Psalms 46:8 ff.; Nahum 3:19.

thy right hand is full of righteousness Ready to be exercised on behalf of Thy people in judgements on their enemies (Psalms 48:11). Cp. Isaiah 33:5.
