And in the greatness of thine excellency,.... Christ has an excellency in him, a greatness of excellency, a superlative one; he has a more excellent name and nature than the angels, being a divine Person; and a more excellent ministry, as man and Mediator, than any of the sons of men, as prophet, priest, and King; and is superlatively excellent in his operations, has wrought out a most excellent righteousness, offered up a more excellent sacrifice than ever was offered, and obtained a great, glorious, and excellent salvation for his people; in consequence of which is what is next asserted:
thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee; against his person and his people, who are in such strict union with him as to be reckoned as himself; and those that rise up against them, he reckons as rising up against him, or as his enemies; and both the one and the other are overthrown by him, as were those that rose up against him in person when on earth, as Herod, Pontius Pilate, the people of the Jews, with the Gentiles, and as will be antichrist and his followers, and all the spiritual enemies of the people of God:

thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble; the wrath of the Lord God Almighty is like fire, and wicked men are as chaff and stubble; and as those cannot stand before fire, but are suddenly and quickly consumed with it; so neither can the wicked, the enemies of Christ and his people, stand before the wrath of the Lamb, when the great day of it is come, but must be presently destroyed by it; see Isa 51:20.

Verse 7. In the greatness of thine excellency] To this wonderful deliverance the Prophet Isaiah refers, Isa 63:11-14: "Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him? That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name."

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges 1878 · Public Domain 7. in the greatness of thy majesty] cognate with…
7. in the greatness of thy majesty] cognate with ‘risen up majestically’ in v. 1: cf. Isa_2:10; Isa_2:19; Isa_2:21; Isa_24:14, where the same word (gâ’ôn) is rendered majesty in both AV. and RV. The retention of excellency in RV. is unfortunate. It is true, in 1611, when the AV. was made, it still had the etymological force (Lat. excello, to rise up out of) of surpassingness, pre-eminence; but even that is an imperfect rendering of the Heb. here; and now the word suggests little more than a mild type of superiority, just as the cognate ‘excellent’ has been weakened into a term of mild commendation, superior, meritorious. See the note on both ‘excellency’ and ‘excellent’ in the writer’s Joel and Amos (in the Camb. Bible), p. 238 f., or (with a fuller synopsis of their occurrences, including those in the N.T.) in his Daniel, p. 33 f.
thou didst break down them that rose up against thee] viz. like a wall or building (Jdg_6:25 ‘throw down’; Eze_26:4; Eze_26:12; and frequently): the solid, compact masses of the foe are represented as broken to pieces, and thrown in ruins on the earth. The figure is more forcible than when we speak of an army being ‘overthrown.’ The word is quite different from the one rendered ‘overthrew’ in Exo_14:27.

Thou sentest forth thy wrath, it consumed (or devoured: lit. ate) them as stubble] God’s wrath is pictured as a fire, consuming the foe as quickly as if they were dry stubble (cf. Isa_5:24, Oba_1:18, Nah_1:10).
