Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 118:26

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the LORD : we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD .

We earnestly pray that God would bless his person and government and all his enterprises.

To wit, Unto us, from whom he was long banished: or, unto the Throne: or from his Father into the World: the Messias, who is known by the name of him that cometh or was to come, as Mat. 11. 3. & 21. 9. Luke 7. 20. & 13. 35. Ioh. 12. 13. and of whom this very word is used, Gen. 49. 10. Isa. 35. 4. He who is about to come or will certainly come.

By command and commission from him, and for his service and glory.

We who are the Lords Ministers attending upon him in his house, and appointed to bless in his Name, Numb. 6. 23. Deut. 10. 8. do pray for, and in Gods Name pronounce his blessing upon thee. So these are the words of the Priests.
