Berean Study Bible

Your kingdom
The phrase "Your kingdom" refers to the divine rule and authority of God. In Hebrew, the word for kingdom is "מַלְכוּת" (malkuth), which signifies not just a physical realm but the sovereign power and reign of God over all creation. This kingdom is not limited by geographical boundaries or temporal constraints, emphasizing God's ultimate authority and governance. Historically, the concept of God's kingdom was central to Jewish thought, anticipating a messianic age where God's rule would be fully realized on earth.

is an everlasting kingdom
The term "everlasting" in Hebrew is "עוֹלָם" (olam), which conveys the idea of perpetuity and timelessness. This highlights the eternal nature of God's reign, contrasting with the transient kingdoms of the world. Throughout history, empires have risen and fallen, but God's kingdom remains unshaken and eternal. This assurance of God's unending rule provides comfort and hope to believers, affirming that His purposes and promises are steadfast and reliable.

and Your dominion
"Dominion" in Hebrew is "מֶמְשָׁלָה" (memshalah), indicating God's supreme authority and control over all things. This dominion is comprehensive, encompassing all aspects of creation. Theologically, it underscores God's omnipotence and sovereignty, reminding believers that nothing occurs outside of His will and purpose. Scripturally, this dominion is evident from Genesis to Revelation, where God's power is displayed in creation, providence, and redemption.

endures through all generations
The phrase "endures through all generations" emphasizes the continuity and faithfulness of God's rule across time. The Hebrew word for "endures" is "דּוֹר" (dor), which can also mean "generation." This suggests that God's dominion is not only eternal but also relevant and active in every age. Historically, this has been a source of encouragement for God's people, who have witnessed His faithfulness through various trials and triumphs. It assures believers that God's presence and power are not confined to the past but are dynamically at work in the present and future.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(13) See margin, and comp. Daniel 4:3; Daniel 4:34. But it is not necessary to see any dependence between the passages because of the recurrence of phrases which must have been of daily use in the theocracy.

The nun stanza, which should come after Psalm 145:13, has most probably dropped away. The LXX. and Vulg., Syriac, and Ethiopic have here a variation of Psalm 145:17, which would, in Hebrew, give a verse beginning with the required letter; but it is unknown to the other ancient versions, is rejected by the Jewish writers, and, though found in one Hebrew MS., is apparently suspicious there. But these arguments can hardly weigh against the improbability that, in an artificial composition, one letter (and that an easy one for the purpose) should have been either purposely or accidentally omitted in the original draft, especially when we reflect how extremely unlikely it was that the LXX. should trouble themselves to supply a verse in order to keep up an arrangement of which they took no other notice, perhaps even hardly observed it.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 13. - Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom (comp. Daniel 4:3, 34). It is inconceivable that God's kingdom should come to an end. He cannot will it to cease, and so dethrone himself. Much less can any other, and necessarily inferior, power overthrow it. And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. This is rather an anti-climax, since the generations of men will one day cease; but it was a customary phrase (Psalm 33:11; Psalm 45:17; Psalm 49:11; Psalm 61:6; Psalm 62:5, etc.), and brought home to men the thought that his special "dominion" was over them.
