The verse is the full doxology that closes the third book of Psalms, ending it with emphatic praise to the Lord forever and a double affirmation. That third book comprises Psalms 73 to 89, with this verse standing at its close.
It belongs to a psalm about the sorrows and afflictions of the Hebrew captives, mingled with encouragement and assurance of divine help and final deliverance from their persecutors. It belongs to a psalm that is a prophecy of Christ and his glorious reign, and a source of comfort and consolation to God's children. It belongs to a psalm that is prophetic of David and of David's greater Son, Jesus Christ. In that psalm David is a type of Christ, the Son of David who reigns on David's throne with a kingdom that endures forever.
It belongs to the word given to David that Christ is destined to reign as King on the throne of God's fifth universal kingdom on earth. It belongs to David's prophetic song of deliverance connected with the triumph of Christ's resurrection. It shows the steadfastness and faithfulness of God in keeping covenant with His children. It shows that God's covenant stands fast with Christ, meaning the ten commandments, of which the Sabbath forms a part, are not abolished but continue, since God never revealed by the prophets that He would abolish the Sabbath or that law. It contains a conditional promise of the kingdom to the descendants of Jacob that was forfeited under the old covenant and can be regained only through an interest in Jesus, who is now prince and will soon be crowned King.
