Psalms 118:26

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

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord - the cry of the multitude when Christ rode as a King into His capital, Jerusalem (). But this was not the final fulfillment of the prophecy in this verse; because in Christ tells the Jews, "Ye shall not see me henceforth until ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." He that cometh in the name of the Lord is, in the primary and typical sense, Zerubbabel coming as representative of the Lord's cause in building the temple, and Nehemiah the same in building the wall of Jerusalem, etc. The shoutings, "Grace, grace unto it" () answers to "we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord" here. In the antitypical and ulterior sense Christ explains it of Himself coming as the manifestation of the Father's glory, and bearing His name (). Hengstenberg translates, as a Hebrew accent connects the words, 'Blessed in the name of the Lord is he who cometh.' I prefer the English version.
