Psalms 145:13

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. THY KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM - literally, 'a kingdom of all eternities' (or ages). When the now haughty kingdoms of this world shall have passed away, the kingdom of Messiah, the Son of David, shall endure. So ; ....

10-21 All God's works show forth his praises. He satisfies the desire of every living thing, except the unreasonable children of men, who are satisfied with nothing. He does good to all the children of men; his own people in a special manner. Many children of God, who have been ready to fall into sin, to fall into despair, have tasted his goodness in preventing their falls, or recovering them speedily by his graces and comforts. And with respect to all that are heavy laden under the burden of sin, if they come to Christ by faith, he will ease them, he will raise them. He is very ready to hear and answer the prayers of his people. He is present every where; but in a special way he is nigh to them, as he is not to others. He is in their hearts, and dwells there by faith, and they dwell in him. He is nigh to those that call upon him, to help them in all times of need. He will be nigh to th...

Verse Psalms 145:13. _THY DOMINION_ ENDURETH] There is neither age nor people in and over which God does not manifest his _benignly ruling_ power. As the above verse begins with the letter מ _mem_, the next in the order of the alphabet should begin with נ _nun_: but that verse is totally wanting. To say it never was in, is false, because the alphabet is not complete without it; and it is an unanswerable argument to prove the careless manner in which the Jews have preserved the Divine records. Though the _Syriac, Septuagint,_ _Vulgate, AEthiopic, Arabic_, and _Anglo-Saxon_, have a verse, not in the Hebrew text, that answers to the נ _nun_, which is found in no printed copy of the Hebrew Bible; yet one MS., now in Trinity College, Dublin, has it thus, I suppose by correction, in the bottom of the page:-...

THY KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM ... - See Psalms 10:16, note; Daniel 4:34, note. The meaning is, that the reign of God will continue forever and ever. It will never pass away as other dominions do; it will not change as dynasties do among people; it will not be overthrown as they are; its great principles will stand firm forever and ever. Compare the notes at Psalms 72:17....

EXPOSITION WITH another hymn of praise, this late collection of Davidical psalms, previously omitted from the Psalter, terminates. Like verses 25. and 34; also Davidical, this psalm is alphabetic, and also, like them, it is incomplete, the letter _nun _being omitted. Like most of the ether alphabetical psalms, it consists of meditations on a single theme, which is here the righteousness and goodness of God (1) to men in general; (2) to his own people; and (3) and more especially, to those that suffer. The metrical arrangement of the psalm is into three stanzas of seven verses each. PSALMS 145:1 I WILL EXTOL THEE, MY GOD, O KING; rather, O _my God_,_ the King_;_ i_._e_. the one and only King of heaven and

THY KINGDOM [IS] AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM,.... So it is opposed to all other kingdoms and monarchies, which have had or will have an end; as the Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and Roman; with all other states which will be on the spot when this kingdom is set up in its glory, and will continue for ever, Daniel 2:44; and the King of it is opposed to all other kings, who die, and their kingdoms are no more to them; but he never dies, he lives for evermore; he is the living God, and so an everlasting King: nor will his kingdom cease at the end of the thousand years, nor when delivered to the Father; only it shall be in a different place and form, and shall remain for ever; for his saints will reign for ever and ever, and he with them. Or it may be rendered, "a kingdom of all worlds" e, or "ages"; Christ's kingdom reaching to all worlds; heaven, earth, and hell: or which, according to Arama, ta...

I am going to preach about prayer, so we will read «David's Psalm of praise.» Thus we shall have two parts of true worship. Psalms 145:1. _I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever._ Notice how long David expected to praise God. He was going to praise God for ever, and then after that, «for ever and ever.» «'Every day will I bless thee,' that is, when I do not seem to be partaking of any choice temporal blessing, I will still bless thee. When I sit like Job on the dunghill, ‘every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name,' thy character, all that has to do with thee, ‘for ever and ever.'» The first two verses are the preface of the Psalm; now the psalmist begins his music:...

PSALM 143-145 In Psalms 143:1 the enemy is mentioned again, the enemy who pursued David. “For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have long been dead.” How this again reminds us of the death experience of the pious remnant when the man of sin, the Antichrist will rule in Israel's land. Prayer for deliverance follows. Hear me speedily--Hide not Thy face from me--Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness--Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies, I flee unto Thee to hide me! The next Psalm riseth higher. Faith lays hold on God. Israel, as David did, will look in faith to Him who has the power to deliver His trusting ones. “My Goodness, and my Fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield and He in whom I trust; who subdueth the peoples under me” (literal translation). They acknowledge before

CXLV. THE NATURE OF YAHWEH. This Ps., which borrows from very late sources (Psalms 145:13, _e.g._ is translated verbally from the Aramaic of Daniel 4:3), is a useful summary of the Divine attributes, as a pious Jew conceived them. For God is mighty and glorious, kindly and compassionate. At the same time, He will destroy the wicked. The Ps. is alphabetical, each verse beginning with a letter of the Heb. alphabet in due succession. By some accident the letter Nun is omitted, but the lost verse can be supplied from the LXX. It stood after Psalms 145:13 and ran, Faithful is Yahweh in his words and holy in all his works. Psalms 145

AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM. a kingdom for all ages. Looking backward (eternal, Psalms 77:5) as well as forward (everlasting, Psalms 77:7). These words, "Thy kingdom [O Christ] is an everlasting kingdom", were (up to 1893) to be seen on the wall of one of the largest Mosques in Damascus. Formerly it was. Temple of Rimmon. It was turned into the (Christian) Church of St. John the Baptist by Arcadius, later it was made into. Mosque by Caliph Walid. (705-717). It was destroyed by fire on Oct 14, 1893, and subsequently rebuilt. (_Enc. Brit_ vol. 7, p. 785, Camb. (11th) edition.) GENERATIONS. Following this verse (13) the Primitive Text read: "Faithful is Jehovah in all His words And holy in all His works", the verse beginning with the missing letter (Nun). _Neeman_ (= faithful).
