One finds in our text God’s gracious irony at work. God is celebrated not as One who exalts Himself at the expense of others but as the One who humbles Himself that others might be exalted. God’s grace raises that which is low and enriches that which is poor. Ultimately, this gracious contrast is made known most fully to us on the cross. At the death of Jesus, what is an abomination before people and God the crucified Christ is exalted by God for the people. Jesus is Lord and by his death accomplishes our salvation. For this, we join the psalmist in a song of eternal praise.
