Psalms 118:26 - Exposition

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" (Hengstenberg).
