| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
true God--literally, "God Jehovah is truth"; not merely true, that is, veracious, but truth in the reality of His essence, as opposed to the "vanity" or emptiness which all idols are (Jer 10:3, Jer 10:8, Jer 10:15; Ch2 15:3; Psa 31:5; Jo1 5:20).
living God-- (Joh 5:26; Ti1 6:17). He hath life in Himself which no creature has. All else "live in Him" (Act 17:28). In contrast to dead idols.
everlasting-- (Psa 10:16). In contrast to the temporary existence of all other objects of worship. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| But - All these are but false gods. Living - These are all but dead stocks and stones, Jehovah is the only living God, having life in himself, and giving life to all things else. An everlasting king - Time devours them all, but the true God is everlasting. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
But the Lord - The original word should be preserved, however we agree to pronounce it: יהוה Yehovah is the true God. He is without beginning, and without end. This is true of no being else.
He is the living God - His being is underived; and he gives life to all. He is the very Fountain whence all life is derived.
And an everlasting king - As he has made, so he governs, all things. His sway is felt both in the heavens and in the earth.
At his wrath the earth shall tremble - All storms, tempests, tornadoes, and earthquakes are the effects of his power; and when the nations are destroyed, or turned upside down, it is the effect of his displeasure. |
16 The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations will perish out of His land.
28 For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
17 As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud and arrogant and contemptuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but on God, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment.
26 For even as the Father has life in Himself and is self-existent, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself and be self-existent.
20 And we [have seen and] know [positively] that the Son of God has [actually] come to this world and has given us understanding and insight [progressively] to perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly Him Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true--in His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). This [Man] is the true God and Life eternal.

3 For the customs and ordinances of the peoples are false, empty, and futile; it is but a tree which one cuts out of the forest [to make for himself a god], the work of the hands of the craftsman with the ax or other tool.
