But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Ver. 10. But the Lord is the true God.] Heb., Jehovah is God in truth, not in conceit only, or counterfeit.
He is the living God, and an everlasting king.] See on Jeremiah 10:6. The words are in the plural number, "he is the living Gods"; not for the sake of honour and glory, as Kimchi observes; but as denoting a trinity of Persons in the unity of the divine essence: for though the words אלהים חיים, "living Gods," that is, living divine Ones, or Persons, are in the plural number, yet הוא, "he," is in the singular; which is worthy of observation. Hebrew Text Note
At his wrath the earth shall tremble.] The earth, that greatest of all lifeless creatures.
And the nations shall not be able.] Less able to stand before him than a glass bottle before a cannon shot.
