Psalms 92:10

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

But my horn shall thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn,.... Which is said to be very high and strong, see De 33:17 this may be understood of the establishment of David's kingdom, of his royal authority, power, and the glory of it, signified by his horn; which was fulfilled when he had subdued the neighbouring nations, and the kings of them, and was exalted above them, and had rest from all his enemies: and may be applied unto the Messiah, the horn of David, the horn of salvation raised up in his house, and so may refer to exaltation at the right hand of God, and the strength and glory of his kingdom; see 1Sa 2:10, and also may be interpreted of every good man, in opposition to the wicked; who, though low and abased, God will exalt and set them among princes, and cause them to inherit the throne of glory, and even to sit down on the same throne with Christ; see 1Sa 2:8.
