From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Great is the Lord -That is, he is high and exalted; he is a Being of great power and glory. He is not weak and feeble, like the idols worshipped by other nations. He is able to defend his people; he has shown his great power in overthrowing the mighty forces that were gathered together against the city where he dwells. And greatly to be praised -Worthy to be praised. In his own nature, he is worthy of adoration; in interposing to save the city from its foes, he has shown that he is worthy of exalted praise. In the city of our God -Jerusalem. In the city which he has chosen for his abode, and where his worship is celebrated. See the notes atPsalms 46:4.
