Gill's Notes on the Bible
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. 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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. There shall be no change of dynasty as there is in human governments; but the same King shall reign from age to age.
Praise ye the Lord - Hallelu-jah. The psalm closes as it commences. It is a call on all persons to unite in the praise of Yahweh.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 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.
ANALYSIS OF THE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIXTH PSALM
The subject of this Psalm is the same with the former.
It is divided into four parts: -
I. An exhortation to praise God, Psalms 146:1. Which the psalmist resolves to do, Psalms 146:2.
II. A dehortation from confidence in man, Psalms 146:3-4.
III. He pronounces them happy who trust in God, Psalms 146:5.
IV. And to persuade to this he uses every reason, Psalms 146:6-10.
I. He begins with a dialogism.
1. "He speaks to all: "Praise ye the Lord."
2. Then by an apostrophe he turns to himself: "Praise the Lord, O my soul."
3. And his soul answers: "While I live," c. While I am, while I shall be.
II. But the prophet, for fear men should trust too much in the great, and not rely wholly upon God, exhorts them: "Put not your trust in princes," &c.
He gives his reasons for the warning: -
1. Because of their impotency: "There is no help in them," &c.
2. Because of their mortality: "Their breath goeth forth," &c.
III. If a man will be happy, the prophet shows him that he must rely upon God alone for,
1. "Happy is he that hath," &c. Him in whom Jacob trusted.
2. "And whose hope," &c. Not in short-lived man.
And this he confirms by many reasons: -
I. From his omnipotence: "He is God the Creator," &c.
II. From his veracity: "Who keeps truth for ever," &c. His word is passed for our protection, and he can and will keep it.
III. From his justice: "He executeth judgment," &c.
IV. From his mercy.
1. "He giveth food," &c. Relieves men in their necessities.
2. "The Lord looseth the prisoner." Another act of grace, again.
3. "The Lord openeth the eyes," &c. Whether spiritually or corporeally.
4. "The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down," &c. By sin or misery.
V. From his love: "The Lord loveth," &c. Of which the effects are: -
1. "The Lord preserveth," &c.
2. "He delivereth the fatherless," &c.
3. But the ungodly find a far different effect: "But the way of the wicked," &c. He makes their glory to perish utterly.
