On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

David's kingdom was lifted up on high, not for his own sake, that he might look great, but because of his people Israel, that he might be a guide and protector to them. We are blessed in order that we may be blessings. We are not born, nor do we live, for ourselves.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel--This is an important truth, that sovereigns are invested with royal honor and authority, not for their own sakes so much as for that of their people.
