Mazmur 118:26

118:26 May the one who comes in the name of the Lord ¹  be blessed!

We will pronounce blessings on you ²  in the Lord’s temple. ³ 

Lukas 19:38

19:38 “Blessed is the king ⁴  who comes in the name of the Lord! ⁵  Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

[118:26]  ¹ sn The people refer here to the psalmist, who enters the Lord’s temple to thank him publicly (see vv. 19-21), as the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

[118:26]  ² tn The pronominal suffix is second masculine plural, but the final mem (ם) is probably dittographic (note the mem [מ] at the beginning of the following form) or enclitic, in which case the suffix may be taken as second masculine singular, referring to the psalmist.

[118:26]  ³ tn Heb “from the house of the Lord.”

[19:38]  ⁴ sn Luke adds the title king to the citation from Ps 118:26 to make clear who was meant (see Luke 18:38). The psalm was used in looking for the deliverance of the end, thus leading to the Pharisees’ reaction.

[19:38]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 118:26.
