In the words we have a Comparison and a Praelation.
1. A Comparison, and this is between God and those that are most excellent in ⟨p. 6⟩Heaven, and the mightiest on Earth.
2. A Praelation, or preferring God before whatsoever is excellent in Heaven or Earth: The Interrogation is a strong negation, as is frequent in Scripture, Prov. 20.9. Who can say I have made my Heart clean, I am pure from my Sin; i. e. None can say I have made my Heart clean, or am pure from my Sin. So Exod. 15.11. Who is like to thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in Holiness, fearful in Praises, doing Wonders; that is, None is like Thee among the gods, none is so glorious in Holiness, so fearful in Praises, such a wonder-working God as thou art. Thus the Psalmist understandeth the Text, For who in the Heavens is to be compared to the Lord? Who among the Sons of the Mighty can be likened to the Lord; i. e. None in the Heavens, none among the Sons of the Mighty on Earth is comparable to Jehovah.
