| 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 [03068] is King [04428] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]: the heathen [01471] are perished [06] out of his land [0776].
28 For [1063] in [1722] him [846] we live [2198], and [2532] move [2795], and [2532] have our being [2070]; as [5613] certain [5100] also [2532] of your [5209] own [2596] poets [4163] have said [2046], For [1063] we are [2070] also [2532] his [5120] offspring [1085].
17 Charge [3853] them that are rich [4145] in [1722] this [3568] world [165], that they be [5309] not [3361] highminded [5309], nor [3366] trust [1679] in [1909] uncertain [83] riches [4149], but [235] in [1722] the living [2198] God [2316], who [3588] giveth [3930] us [2254] richly [4146] all things [3956] to [1519] enjoy [619];
26 For [1063] as [5618] the Father [3962] hath [2192] life [2222] in [1722] himself [1438]; so [2532] [3779] hath he given [1325] to the Son [5207] to have [2192] life [2222] in [1722] himself [1438];
20 And [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of God [2316] is come [2240], and [2532] hath given [1325] us [2254] an understanding [1271], that [2443] we may know [1097] him that is true [228], and [2532] we are [2070] in [1722] him that is true [228], even in [1722] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. This [3778] is [2076] the true [228] God [2316], and [2532] eternal [166] life [2222].
5 Into thine hand [03027] I commit [06485] my spirit [07307]: thou hast redeemed [06299] me, O LORD [03068] God [0410] of truth [0571].
3 Now for a long [07227] season [03117] Israel [03478] hath been without [03808] the true [0571] God [0430], and without a teaching [03384] priest [03548], and without law [08451].
15 They are vanity [01892], and the work [04639] of errors [08595]: in the time [06256] of their visitation [06486] they shall perish [06].
8 But they are altogether [0259] brutish [01197] and foolish [03688]: the stock [06086] is a doctrine [04148] of vanities [01892].
3 For the customs [02708] of the people [05971] are vain [01892]: for one cutteth [03772] a tree [06086] out of the forest [03293], the work [04639] of the hands [03027] of the workman [02796], with the axe [04621].
