Excerpt from Knowing the Scriptures: Rules and Methods of Bible Study
This saying of the Psalmist may primarily refer to some specific word of God, some promise, like that recorded about the future of David's own house (2 Samuel vii:11, 19) but the larger truth it contains and conveys is capable of so much wider scope and broader application that it may well be said to include the whole body of Holy Scripture.
Calvin translates: Thou hast magnified Thy name, above all things, by Thy word; and Luther, Thou hast made Thy Name glorious, above all, through Thy Word. But, with Hengstenberg, the majority of the best Bible students favor substantially the common rendering: Above all Thy Name, thou hast made glorious Thy Word - meaning that, beyond all works of Creation and Providence, or other means whereby God has made Himself known, He has exalted His written Word.
To those to whom it is addressed, it has power to com vict and convert, sanctify and edify; but it has even a higher power and province: it is the mirror of its Author; meant, first of all, to reveal, un'veil, magnify and glorify Him from whom it originally went forth.

Excerpt from Knowing the Scriptures: Rules and Methods of Bible Study
"Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy name."
- Psalm cxxxviii:2.
This saying of the Psalmist may primarily refer to some specific word of God, some promise, like that recorded about the future of Davids own house(2 Samuel vii: II, 19); but the larger truth it contains and conveys is capable of so much wider scope and broader application that it may well be said to include the whole body of Holy Scripture.
Calvin translates: "Thou hast magnified Thy name, above all things, by Thy Word;" and Luther, "Thou hast made Thy Name glorious, above all, through Thy Word." But, with Hengstenberg, the majority of the best Bible students favor substantially the common rendering: "Above all Thy Name, thou hast made glorious Thy Word" - meaning that, beyond all works of Creation and Providence, or other means whereby God has made Himself known, He has exalted His written Word.
To those to whom it is addressed, it has power to convict and convert, sanctify and edify; but it has even a higher power and province: it is the mirror of its Author; meant, first of all, to reveal, unveil, magnify and glorify Him from whom it originally went forth.
This high tribute found expression when as yet there was only the Written Word. Without doubt the Living Word is a fuller unveiling of Gods inmost self. In the incarnation, "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men," as a living Presence. In the Person of His Son, the Logos, the Word Incarnate, the Father made Himself known as never before, with new clearness and fulness of revelation.
Yet it still remains true that, in the Inspired Scriptures, He has glorified His own Name, or nature: revealing His mind, heart, will - His whole character - and, especially, His gracious attitude toward sinners; and, in such manner and measure, as to make all other revelations of Himself in the creation of the material universe and the control of human history comparatively dim and indistinct, only as the first faint flushes of the dawn in comparison with the fuller light of day.
