David (Psal. 21.13.) turns it into a prayer, or wish, Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thine own strength. He makes a like prayer, (Psal. 108.5.) The Lord in other places declareth himself p• remptorily in it, (Psal. 46.10.) Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the Heathen, I will be exalted in the Earth. It shall be so whether men will or will not; whether men will or no, God will be exalted, because he is exalted in his own power, not in any derived power, or power given him from the creature, Men or Angels. The power which God puts forth in his works exalt him, or show him to be a great, a mighty God. Behold, God is exalted by his own power.

But we translate the Text (and so I conceive it more fitly suits the scope of Elihu) as expressing an act of God towards others; Behold, God exalteth by his power. So Mr Broughton; Mark, the Omnipotent sets up by his strength.
