gavest Him length of days forever and ever.
His Glory is great through Thy salvation;
Majesty and splendor hast Thou laid upon Him.
For Thou hast made Him to be blessings forever;
Thou hast filled Him with joy by Thy countenance.
For the King confideth in Jehovah.
Through the loving kindness of the Highest
He shall not be moved."
Then comes His future action, when He whom faith sees now crowned
with Majesty and Splendor, who rejoices in the Presence of God,
appears to execute the judgments of God.
"Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies;
Thy right hand shall find out those that hate Thee.
Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace
In the time of Thy presence.
Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger,
And the fire shall devour them.
Their fruit shall Thou destroy from the earth,
And their seed from among the children of men.
For they intended evil against Thee,
They imagined a mischievous device,
Which they could not execute.
For Thou wilt make them turn their back,
Thou wilt make ready Thy bowstring against their faces.
Be Thou exalted Jehovah in Thine own strength;
We will sing and celebrate Thy power."
And in the _Twenty-fourth_ Psalm we have prophetically that
triumphant shout, which will be heard when the King comes
back to enter His City, Jerusalem, again.
"Lift up your heads, ye gates
And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors;
And the King of Glory shall come in.
Who is this King of Glory?
Jehovah strong and mighty,
Jehovah mighty in battle."
The _Forty-fifth_ Psalm is a song of the Beloved, touching the King.
He is described as coming in His Majesty and Splendor, how He deals
with His enemies and that He will be surrounded by His own redeemed
ones.
The Glory and dominion of His Kingdom He will receive is described
in the _Seventy-second_ Psalm. "He shall have dominion from sea to
sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." And other
Psalms enlarge upon these glorious visions, which will all be true
when the King comes. Then Jerusalem will be a praise in the earth.
"Also I will make Him, my Firstborn, higher than the kings of the
earth" (Ps. lxxxix:27).
And how rich are the prophets in telling us of the Glory of the King
and the glories of His kingdom. "Behold a King shall rule in
righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment" (Isaiah xxxii:1).
"Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty;
