From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Shout -i. e., spoken of the war-cry. So inIsaiah 42:13, where God is compared to a warrior, it is said He shall shout (the King James Version cry), i. e., raise the war-cry. Site hath given her hand -The sign of submission (compare1 Chronicles 29:24margin). Foundations -Or, buttresses. The Septuagint: “battlements.”
