Gill's Exposition on Psalms 118:26
Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the Lord,.... These words were used by the multitude that followed Christ, as he went into Jerusalem, in order to eat his last passover, and suffer and die
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 118:26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 118:26
Blessed be he; we earnestly pray that God would bless his person and government, and all his enterprises. That cometh, to wit, unto us, from whom he was long banished; or unto the throne; or from his Father into the world; the Messias, who is known by the name of him that cometh or was to come, as 21:9 13:35 , and of whom this very word is used, . He who is about to come, or will certainly come. In the name of the Lord; by command and commission from him, and for his service and glory. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord; we who are the Lord’ s ministers, attending upon him in his house, and appointed to bless in his name, , do pray for, and in God’ s name pronounce, his blessing upon thee. So these are the words of the priests.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 118:26
Psalms 118:26 Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.Ver. 26. Blessed be he that cometh] Blessed be Christ. Vivat Christus eiusque insignia, said John Clark of Melda, when, for declaring against the Pope’ s indulgencies, he was burnt in the forehead with a hot iron (Scultet. Annul.). We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord] Thus say the priests to the people. Ministers must bless those that bless Christ, saying, "Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity," Ephesians 6:24; as if any do not, let him be Anathema Maranatha, 1 Corinthians 16:22.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 118:26
(26) Blessed . . .—These words of welcome are probably spoken by the Levite in charge, to the procession approaching the gates. According to Rabbinical writings, pilgrim caravans were thus welcomed on their arrival at Jerusalem.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 118:26
Verse 26. We have blessed you] The answer of the Levities to the king.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 118:26
26. The priests in the Temple bless the entering procession. Blessed in the name of Jehovah be he that entereth! The accentuation rightly connects in the name of Jehovah with blessed. Cp. Psalms 129:8; Deuteronomy 21:5; 2 Samuel 6:18. With these words and with the Hosanna[77] (‘save now’) of the preceding verse, the multitudes greeted Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:9). The Psalm may already have received a Messianic interpretation. Hosanna was a “God save the king” (Psalms 20:9); and “he that cometh” was a title of the Messiah (Matthew 11:3). The disciples, expanding the original, shouted “Blessed is the king that cometh in the name of the Lord” (Luke 19:38; cp.
Mark 11:10). [77] Hosanna (ὡσαννά) represents a contracted form δεֹ ?ωַׁ ?ςΞπָּ ?ΰ (cp. Psalms 86:2), hτshγ‘-nnβ, which was substituted for the fuller form δεֹ ?ωִׁ ?ιςָ ?δπָּ ?ΰ hτshξ‘βh nnβ used in the Psalm. See Dalman, Gramm. des Jόd. Pal. Aram. p. 198.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 118:26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord - See the notes at Matthew 21:9. This is the language of those who had charge of the sanctuary, addressing him who came in the name of the Lord to present his thank-offering.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 118:26
26. Blessed be he that cometh—Originally the salutation given by the body of the Levite singers on the temple hill, who received the procession; (Psalms 118:19-20 : see introduction;) afterward the
