This is evident from the signification of "great," as being in reference to the Lord His Divine omnipotence; also from the signification of "wonderful," as being in reference to the Lord His Divine providence.

Moreover, what follows respecting the salvation of the good and the condemnation of the evil is all of the Divine omnipotence and providence.
