Commentary on Psalms 97:9
The phrase 'high above all the earth' (al-kol-ha'arets) establishes God's transcendent position. Being 'exalted far above all gods' doesn't concede other gods' existence but uses polemical language to assert Yahweh's incomparability. The Hebrew ma'od (exceedingly, very) intensifies the exaltation. This verse's absolute claims refute both polytheism and religious pluralism—there is no pantheon, only one supreme God. His supremacy is not one of degree but of kind—He alone is God.
