Psalms 7:17

Context

7:17 I will thank the Lord for 1  his justice;

I will sing praises to the sovereign Lord! 2 

1 tn Heb “according to.”

2 tn Heb “[to] the name of the Lord Most High.” God’s “name” refers metonymically to his divine characteristics as suggested by his name, in this case the compound “Lord Most High.” The divine title “Most High” (עֶלְיוֹן, ’elyon) pictures God as the exalted ruler of the universe who vindicates the innocent and judges the wicked. See especially Ps 47:2.
