Psalm 118:26 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 118:19-29

We have here an illustrious prophecy of the humiliation and exaltation of our Lord Jesus, his sufferings, and the glory that should follow. Peter thus applies it directly to the chief priests and scribes, and none of them could charge him with misapplying it, Acts 4:11. Now observe here, I. The preface with which this precious prophecy is introduced, Ps. 118:19-21. 1. The psalmist desires admission into the sanctuary of God, there to celebrate the glory of him that cometh in the name of the... read more

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord ,.... These words were used by the multitude that followed Christ, as he went into Jerusalem, in order to eat his last passover, and suffer and die for his people, and are applied to him; as also by his disciples, who expressed them thus, "Blessed be the King that cometh", &c.; Luke 19:38 ; the King Messiah, who came from heaven to earth, from his Father into this world, to save the chief of sinners; who now came to Jerusalem on that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 118:1-29

The first eighteen verses are the song of the procession as it winds its way slowly up the hill to the great gate of the temple, sung alternately, as it would seem, by the two halves of the procession. Psalms 118:19 is the utterance of the leader, in the name of the whole hand, on their arrival before the gates. Psalms 118:20 is the reply made to them by those inside. The procession, as it enters, sings Psalms 118:21-24 antiphonally as before, all joining in Psalms 118:25 . Those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 118:22-29

The great reversal. To whomsoever these words ( Psalms 118:22 , Psalms 118:23 ) primarily referred, we have the highest authority for applying them to our Lord himself. In his case we have— I. THE GREAT REVERSAL . ( Psalms 118:22 , Psalms 118:23 .) No reversal of fortune in human affairs can be comparable to his experience. Consider: 1. His course on earth—the circumstances of his birth, of his youth, and of his manhood; his claims disowned, his truth rejected,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 118:26

Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord . Once more a voice issues from the interior of the temple (comp. Psalms 118:20 ). The priestly choir there stationed to receive the procession, blesses it as coming "in the Name of the Lord;" i . e . for a religious purpose, and with pious intentions. We have blessed you, they say (or, rather perhaps, we bless you ) out of the house of the Lord . "The house of the Lord is the fountain and the treasury of all blessing"... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 118:26

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord - See the notes at Matthew 21:9. This is the language of those who had charge of the sanctuary, addressing him who came in the name of the Lord to present his thank-offering. It is the language of welcome; the assurance that his offering would be acceptable to God. It was applicable to the Messiah, as coming in the name of the Lord, and was so used by the multitudes Matthew 21:9, and by the Saviour himself Matthew 23:39; but this use of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 118:1-29

Psalms 118:0 A procession of thanksgivingOriginally this hymn was apparently sung by a combination of the temple singers, the congregation and the king, to mark some great national occasion such as a victory in battle. The scene is set in the temple, where the royal procession enters the gates and moves to the altar (see v. 19,20,27).The singers call Israel to worship, and the congregation responds with praise to God for his steadfast love (1-4). The king then recounts how, in answer to prayer,... read more
