Thou hast made him blessed for ever Hebrew, תשׁיתהו ברכות, teshitheehu berachoth, Thou hast set him to be blessings for ever; that is, to be the author of all felicity to his subjects and servants: see Galatians 3:8, where we learn, that Christ, by his death and passion, having removed the curse, became the fountain of all blessedness to his people, in time and in eternity; being himself the blessing promised to Abraham, and the chief subject of the patriarchal benedictions. Thou hast made him exceeding glad Thus Christ says of himself, Psalms 16:9, My heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; in thy presence is fulness of joy, &c., and the psalmist says of him, Psalms 45:7, Thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
