8. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea. Widespread shall be the rule of Messiah. All other power will be
subordinate to his; no rival nor antagonist will he know. And from the river unto the ends of the earth. Start where you will, by any river you choose,
and Messiah’s kingdom will reach on to the utmost bounds of the round world. We
are encouraged to look for the Saviour’s universal reign; whether before or
after his personal advent we leave for the discussion of others. In this psalm,
at least, we see a personal monarch, and he is the central figure, the focus of
all the glory; not his servant, but himself do we see possessing the dominion
and dispensing the government. Personal pronouns referring to our great King
are constantly occurring in this psalm; he has dominion, kings fall down
before him and serve him, he delivers, he spares, he
saves, he lives, and daily is he praised.
