Gill's Notes on the Bible

Saying, blessed be the King,.... The King Messiah, the King of Israel, the son of David, the Christ of God; so the Ethiopic version adds, "blessed be the King of Israel"; they sung their "Hosannas" to him, as the other evangelists say:

that cometh in the name of the Lord; :-

peace in heaven; all heavenly peace and prosperity attend him; or let peace be made with God in heaven, by the Prince of Peace on earth, for sinful men:

and glory in the highest; glory be given to God for peace, life, and salvation by his son; and that in the highest heavens, by the angels there, as well as by men on earth, and in the highest notes and strains.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 21:1-16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 38. Glory in the highest. — Mayst thou receive the uttermost degrees of glory! Matthew 21:9; Matthew 21:9.
