The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham, rather, to this people, the great and mighty ones of the earth joining the nation of Abraham's God, united with the spiritual Israel of all times; for the shields of the earth belong unto God. all weapons of war must be lowered before Him; He is greatly exalted, since He conquers with the power of His majestic mercy, through the Word of His grace. There can be no doubt, from the entire song, that the reference is to Jehovah-God, to the Messiah, in the exaltation following His deep humiliation.
