Psalms 45:17

45:17 I will proclaim your greatness through the coming years,

then the nations will praise you forever.

Psalms 102:27

102:27 But you remain;

your years do not come to an end.


tn Heb “I will cause your name to be remembered in every generation and generation.” The cohortative verbal form expresses the poet’s resolve. The king’s “name” stands here for his reputation and character, which the poet praised in vv. 2-7.

sn The nations will praise you. As God’s vice-regent on earth, the king is deserving of such honor and praise.

tn Heb “you [are] he,” or “you [are] the one.” The statement may echo the Lord’s affirmation “I am he” in Isa 41:4; 43:10, 13; 46:10; 48:12. In each of these passages the affirmation emphasizes the fact that the Lord transcends time limitations, the very point being made in Ps 102:27.
