Psalms 146:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 146:10

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 thousand years on earth; and then they will reign together to all eternity; see ( Psalms 14:6 ) ( Isaiah 9:7 ) ( Daniel 2:44 ) . Both Jarchi and Kimchi refer this to the Messiah and his kingdom; the note of the former is,

``he shall confirm his kingdom in the redemption or salvation of his children;''
and of the latter,
``it shall be said he is King over all, after he has executed judgment on the wicked in the valley of Jehoshaphat;''
[even] thy God, O Zion, unto, all generations;
he who is Zion's God is Zion's King, head over all things to the church; and this is her joy and comfort in every age, that her God and her King reigns, and will reign for evermore; and especially in a glorious manner in the latter day; see ( Isaiah 52:7 ) ; and as all this is a solid ground and foundation of truth in the Lord, and serves to encourage saints to make him their help and hope; and shows how happy they are that have him as such; so it is matter of praise and thanksgiving: hence it follows, praise ye the Lord;
or "hallelujah"; and so the psalm ends as it began.

Psalms 146:10 In-Context

8 The LORD gives sight to those who are blind. The LORD lifts up those who feel helpless. The LORD loves those who do what is right.
9 The LORD watches over the outsiders who live in our land. He takes good care of children whose fathers have died. He also takes good care of widows. But he causes evil people to fail in everything they do.
10 The LORD rules forever. The God of Zion will rule for all time to come. Praise the Lord.
