Psalms 21:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

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 16:9-11, 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.

Psalms 21:6

6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
