Psalm 118
1. An exhortation to praise God for his mercy
5. The psalmist by his experience shows how good it is to trust in God
19. Under the type of the psalmist the coming of Christ in his kingdom is expressed














Blessed is he
The phrase "Blessed is he" originates from the Hebrew word "baruch," which means to be favored or happy. In the context of Psalm 118, this blessing is not merely a wish for happiness but a divine favor bestowed upon an individual. Historically, this phrase has been used in Jewish liturgy, particularly during the Feast of Tabernacles, to welcome pilgrims entering Jerusalem. In the New Testament, this phrase is echoed during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:9), signifying the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah. The blessing here is both a recognition of divine favor and an acknowledgment of the fulfillment of God's promises.

who comes
The phrase "who comes" is significant in its messianic expectation. In Hebrew, the word "bo" implies arrival or coming, often used in prophetic literature to denote the coming of a significant figure or event. In the context of Psalm 118, it anticipates the arrival of the Messiah, a theme that resonates throughout the Old Testament. This expectation is fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is recognized as the one who comes in the name of the Lord. The phrase underscores the anticipation and hope for deliverance and salvation.

in the name of the LORD
The phrase "in the name of the LORD" signifies acting with the authority and purpose of Yahweh. In Hebrew, "Shem Adonai" implies not just a verbal invocation but a representation of God's character and will. This phrase is central to understanding the mission and authority of the one who comes. In the historical context of Israel, acting in the name of the LORD meant carrying out God's will and purpose. In the New Testament, Jesus' actions and teachings are seen as being in the name of the LORD, fulfilling the law and the prophets. This phrase emphasizes the divine mission and authority bestowed upon the Messiah.

From the house of the LORD
The phrase "From the house of the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, the center of Jewish worship and the dwelling place of God's presence. In Hebrew, "Beit Adonai" signifies not just a physical location but a spiritual center where God's presence is manifest. Historically, the temple was the focal point of Jewish religious life, and blessings pronounced from there carried significant weight. In the context of Psalm 118, this phrase indicates that the blessing and recognition of the one who comes are rooted in divine authority and presence. In the New Testament, Jesus is seen as the new temple, the embodiment of God's presence among His people. This phrase highlights the continuity of God's presence and blessing from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

(26) Blessed . . .--These words of welcome are probably spoken by the Levite in charge, to the procession approaching the gates. According to Rabbinical writings, pilgrim caravans were thus welcomed on their arrival at Jerusalem.

Verse 26. - Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord. Once more a voice issues from the interior of the temple (comp. ver. 20). The priestly choir there stationed to receive the procession, blesses it as coming "in the Name of the Lord;" i.e. for a religious purpose, and with pious intentions. We have blessed you, they say (or, rather perhaps, we bless you) out of the house of the Lord. "The house of the Lord is the fountain and the treasury of all blessing" (Hengstenberg).
