A Declaration of Ultimate Reality
Commentators note that this verse marks a dramatic shift from lament to triumphant praise. The psalmist, with absolute confidence, declares God's eternal kingship as a present and future reality. John Calvin contrasts God's everlasting reign with that of mortal kings who are limited by time and power. This declaration serves as a powerful reminder that God's rule is the ultimate reality, even when circumstances appear desperate.
