And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
And the Lord shall. Hope draws its conclusions from the past to the future (Bengel). There is no anticipation of his being delivered out of dangers (2 Timothy 4:6), but of his being through them delivered from evil forever.
Will preserve me, х soosei (G4982)] - 'will save,' 'bring me safe into.' Jesus is the Lord and Deliverer (Philippians 3:20; 1 Thessalonians 1:10).
Heavenly kingdom, х teen (G3588) basileian (G932) autou (G846) teen (G3588) epouranion (G2032)] - 'His kingdom, which is a heavenly one:' heavenly now, about hereafter to be on earth also, (Revelation 20:1-15; Revelation 21:1-27.)
To whom ... - Greek, 'to whom be the glory unto the ages of ages.' The very hope produces a doxology: how much greater will be the doxology which the enjoyment shall produce (Bengel).
