The exaltation is fitting for Christ according to the same nature as the exinanition is fitting for Christ, as the apostle shows by the opposition of the two in verses 8 and 9.
The fuller use of these was finally to follow in the state of exaltation; meanwhile, from these it may be confidently concluded that Christ was not devoid of that power and glory even in the middle of the state of exinanition, but rather that he willingly and freely abstained from their fuller use.
The exaltation in the biblical sense is the opposite of the exinanition properly defined and described in Phil.

In The Exaltation of Inanna there is a strong authorial presence that may be unmatched in ancient literary creation until the time of Sappho.
Furthermore, since Sjoberg spends only a page and three-quarters discussing the literary structure, a discussion that primarily summarizes the form and contents of the hymn, to critique it on these grounds for one-fourth of the section given the fact that so many lines are missing seems to me to be somewhat hasty.
In The Exaltation, she adds her metacommentary that helps to illuminate the meaning of the hymn on a personal, psychological, and universal level.

As Berkhof says, "The highest point [in the exaltation] is not reached until He who suffered at the hands of man, returns in the capacity of judge." The Second Coming will signalize the competed victory of Jesus Christ, and usher in the renewed creation where only righteousness will dwell forever.
Finally, understanding the exaltation of Christ gives us a wonderful perspective on the truths that we shall one day be where Christ is (John 14:1-3) and that in this place we will behold His glory (John 17:22-24).
