Blessed be the LORD
The phrase "Blessed be the LORD" is a doxology, a short hymn of praises to God. The Hebrew word for "blessed" is "בָּרוּךְ" (baruch), which conveys a sense of adoration and reverence. In the context of the Psalms, this phrase is often used to acknowledge God's sovereignty and goodness. It is a declaration of praise that recognizes the LORD as the source of all blessings. Historically, this expression of blessing is a common feature in Jewish prayers and liturgies, emphasizing the importance of continually acknowledging God's greatness and mercy.

the God of Israel
This phrase identifies the LORD specifically as the God of Israel, highlighting the covenant relationship between God and His chosen people. The Hebrew term for "God" here is "אֱלֹהִים" (Elohim), which is a plural form that denotes majesty and power. "Israel" refers to the descendants of Jacob, who was renamed Israel after wrestling with God. This designation underscores the unique relationship and promises God made to the patriarchs and their descendants. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His people throughout history, from the time of the patriarchs to the present.

from everlasting to everlasting
This phrase speaks to the eternal nature of God. The Hebrew words "מֵעוֹלָם וְעַד עוֹלָם" (me'olam ve'ad olam) translate to "from eternity to eternity," emphasizing that God's existence transcends time. He is the Alpha and Omega, without beginning or end. This eternal nature assures believers of God's unchanging character and His perpetual presence in their lives. Historically, this concept of God's eternality provided comfort and hope to the Israelites, especially during times of uncertainty and exile, reminding them that God's promises endure forever.

Amen and Amen
The repetition of "Amen" serves as a strong affirmation of the truths declared in the verse. The Hebrew word "אָמֵן" (amen) means "truly" or "so be it," and is used to express agreement and certainty. In the context of the Psalms, it is a liturgical response that confirms the worshiper's faith in the declarations made. The double "Amen" adds emphasis, reinforcing the sincerity and intensity of the praise. This practice of using "Amen" is rooted in Jewish tradition and has been carried into Christian liturgy, symbolizing the congregation's collective assent to the truths of God's word.

(13) Blessed.--This doxology is no part of the psalm, but a formal close to the first book of the collection. (See General Introduction.)

Verse 13. - Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. A similar doxology occurs at the end of Psalm 72, 89, and Psalms 106, not (apparently) as part of the psalm to which it is attached, but as a mark of pause and separation. The Psalter is thus divided into five books (comp. Hippolyt., p. 153, edit. Lagarde, "TheHebrews divided the Psalter into five books, so that it is another Pentateuch").
