exaltest thyself A peculiar word, found only here. The root means to cast up a way(Isaiah 57:14; Isaiah 62:10); and the Heb. words for -Siege- mound," and -high-way" (properly, a - raisedway"), are derived from it; hence the meaning seems properly to be, - raisest thyself up as a mound(or obstacle) against my people," to oppose their release.
