Psalms 72:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 72:18

Blessed [be] the Lord God
The Messiah, who is truly and properly God, Jehovah, Lord of all, and the Lord our righteousness; to whom such a doxology or ascription of glory and blessing properly belongs, since all good things are from him, and by him;

the God of Israel;
that brought Israel out of Egypt; went before them in the wilderness; redeemed and saved them, and bore and carried them all the days of old; and in whom all the true Israel of God are justified, and shall be saved with an everlasting salvation;

who only doeth wondrous things;
in the creation of all things out of nothing; in the government of the world; and in the redemption and salvation of his people; which is a very marvellous thing: as that God should become man, suffer and die in the room of men, and save them from sin and ruin; this wondrous thing. Christ has done alone, and there was none with him.

17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
