With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the King's palace, into the everlasting glories of heaven. v 16. Instead of Thy fathers shall be Thy children, whom Thou mayest make princes in all the earth. The King is here once more addressed. Instead of His fathers, the kings of the line of David who preceded Him, He will have sons, believers, citizens in His kingdom, His spiritual children; for His family will never die out, since He will always gain new adherents out of all nations, whom He will then set as princes over all the earth. All believers are kings and princes before Christ and His heavenly Father, they share in His glorious dominion, 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6. And so the inspired singer finally, as a member and representative of Christ's Church on earth, extols the name of Messiah, the King.
