God is…Exalted

I didn't really learn much from this one.  What does it mean to be exalted?  See the definition below.  There is one verse that I picked out because I thought it had special relevance for today. 

It isn't about God being exalted.  It is about what happens when evil is exalted.  I thought it was a great commentary on society today.

Psalms 12:8(NKJV)

    The wicked prowl on every side,      When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

2 Samuel 22:47(NKJV)

    “The Lord lives!      Blessed be my Rock!     Let God be exalted,     The Rock of my salvation!
