But You, O LORD,
This phrase acknowledges the personal and covenantal name of God, Yahweh, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. The use of "O LORD" emphasizes a direct address to God, highlighting a personal relationship. In the context of the Psalms, this reflects the psalmist's reliance on God's sovereignty and power. The name Yahweh is first revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14, establishing God's self-existence and eternal nature. This phrase sets the tone for worship and reverence, recognizing God's supreme authority over all creation.

are exalted
The term "exalted" signifies being lifted high or placed in a position of honor and authority. In biblical terms, God's exaltation is a recognition of His supreme power and majesty. This is a common theme throughout the Psalms, where God's greatness is celebrated (Psalm 97:9). The exaltation of God contrasts with the temporary nature of human power and the futility of idol worship. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is also described as being exalted by God (Philippians 2:9), drawing a parallel between the divine nature of the Father and the Son.

forever!
The concept of "forever" underscores God's eternal nature, a central tenet of biblical theology. Unlike human rulers or idols, God's reign is everlasting, as affirmed in Psalm 90:2. This eternal aspect of God provides assurance and hope to believers, knowing that His promises and His kingdom are unchanging and enduring. The eternal nature of God is also reflected in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ (John 3:16), linking the Old Testament understanding of God's eternity with the New Testament revelation of salvation.
