Psalm 146:10-147:1 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 146:5-10

The psalmist, having cautioned us not to trust in princes (because, if we do, we shall be miserably disappointed), here encourages us to put our confidence in God, because, if we do so, we shall be happily secured: Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, that has an interest in his attributes and promises, and has them engaged for him, and whose hope is in the Lord his God. I. Let us take a view of the character here given of those whom God will uphold. Those shall have God for... read more

The Lord shall reign for ever ,.... The Messiah, who is King of kings and Lord of lords; and in this he is superior to, them, they reign but for a while, but he for evermore; the throne of majesty and glory on which he sits is for ever and ever; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; of his government, and the peace of it, there will be no end; he is King of saints now, and reigns in their hearts, and in his churches, and in the world; and he will reign with his people, and they with him, a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:10

The Lord shall reign for ever - Therefore he can never fail; and he is thy God, O Zion. Hitherto he has helped you and your fathers; and has extended that help from generation to generation. Therefore trust in him and bless the Lord. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:10

Verse 10 10.Jehovah shall reign, etc. He directs his discourse to the Church, that he may more effectually persuade all God’s people of their really finding him to be such as he had just described. When he says that God is king for ever, we are to remember at the same time the purpose for which he reigns — taking our definition of it from the preceding ascription’s. It follows that, whether living or dying, we shall be safe under the keeping of a king who reigns expressly for our salvation. Had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 146:1-10

Three fulfillments. There are three ways in which these verses (or most of them) have been or are fulfilled. I. IN DIVINE PROVIDENCE . In God's dealing with his people Israel. 1. Israel found, again and again, that it was not in human alliances, but in the living God, that its true help was found ( Psalms 146:3-5 ). Princes and powers proved to be but broken reeds; but while Jehovah was sought and served, everything was secure. 2. Israel in captivity found its true hope... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 146:1-10

God alone worthy of trust. "Bears evident traces of belonging to the post-Exile literature; and the words of Psalms 146:7-9 are certainly no inapt expression of the feelings which would naturally be called forth at a time immediately subsequent to the return from the Captivity." I. EVEN THE MIGHTIEST OF MANKIND ARE UNWORTHY OF TRUST . 1. They cannot save in our greatest extremities . "In whom is no help." From want of ability and often from want of wilt. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 146:5-10

The happiness of him that hath the God of Jacob for his Help and Hope. These verses are a statement of the solid reasons of that happiness. I. THE LORD 'S INFINITE POWER . ( Psalms 146:6 .) He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, "the sea, and all that therein is." He is the mighty God, and infinite in power. II. HIS ETERNAL TRUTH . He is faithful to his Word; he "keepeth truth for ever." None ever trusted in him and found his Word to fail. Contrast this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 146:10

The Lord shall reign forever (comp. Psalms 10:16 ; Psalms 145:13 ). Even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations . On the restoration of Israel to its own land, Jehovah becomes emphatically once more "the God of Zion" (see Zechariah 2:10 ; Zechariah 8:3 ). And this he remains "to all generations," since the Church of Christ is now the true Zion ( Hebrews 12:22 ). Praise ye the Lord (see Psalms 146:1 ). read more

The Lord shall reign for ever - See the notes at Psalms 10:16 : “The Lord is King forever and ever” Compare Exodus 15:18.Even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations - As long as the world shall endure.

It is a call on all persons to unite in the praise of Yahweh. read more
