Psalms 118:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

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 Matthew 2:3; Matthew 11:9 Luke 7:20, Luke 13:35 1 Thessalonians 12:13, and of whom this very word is used, Genesis 49:10 Isaiah 35:4. 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, Numbers 6:23 Deuteronomy 10:8, do pray for, and in God's name pronounce, his blessing upon thee. So these are the words of the priests.
