Why does it say "Hashem Elokei Tzevakos"?

1.

Radak: He is the G-d of legions of Shamayim, and rules over them.

2.

Malbim: "Elokei Tzevakos" is the natural conduct via the Ma'arachah and legions of Shamayim.

2)

Why does it say "Mi Chamocha"?

1.

Radak: Among the upper beings that exist forever, who is like You?! They testify about themselves, that their entire existence is from You, who exist forever!

3)

What is "Chasin Kah"?

1.

Radak: Chasin is strong, like "v'Chason Hu ka'Alonim" (Amos 2:9). It is not Samuch [to Kah]; its grammatical form is like Gevir. Kah hints that Hashem brought the world into existence; it is from Him. He perpetuates the world after He made it; He is called Chei ha'Olam.

2.

Malbim: This refers to strong, fixed conduct.

4)

Why does it say "ve'Emunasecha Sevivosecha"?

1.

Radak: This is like it says "Emunasecha bi'Kahal Kedoshim" (verse 6). The Kadosh angels are around Him, and they testify to His Emunah, i.e. His existence.

2.

Malbim: Also natural conduct, which is based on Emunah, is around You; You dwell among the legions of Shamayim, and act on them.
