Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The congregation is called upon to signify their concurrence herewith by standing up; and so the minister directs himself to God, Blessed be thy glorious name. As the only living and true God: Thou art Jehovah alone, self-existent and independent; there is no God besides thee. As the Creator of all things: Thou hast made heaven, earth, and seas, and all that is in them.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Then the Levites . . . said, Stand up and bless the Lord your God--If this prayer was uttered by all these Levites in common, it must have been prepared and adopted beforehand, perhaps, by Ezra; but it may only embody the substance of the confession and thanksgiving.
