The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
Ver. 16. The Lord is King for ever and ever] Therefore he will doubtless do whatsoever hath been before desired, and much more than we can ask or think. Many kings have been long lived, as was Artaxerxes Mnemon, who reigned 62 years; Augustus Caesar, 56; Queen Elizabeth, 44, &c.; but died at length, to the great grief of their subjects and servants, who are ready to wish (as once the Romans did concerning Augustus) that either they had never been or never died. But God is the King immortal, invisible, &c.
The heathen are perished out of his land] The enemies, whether Jews or Gentiles, are rid out of his Church; for that is God's land by a specialty, his peculiar portion.
