A Source of Blessing
Commentators explain that the phrase "makest him most blessed" literally means God has set the king "to be blessings." This signifies that the king is not just a recipient of God's favor, but a conduit through whom blessings flow to others. This concept finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who, as Matthew Henry notes, is the universal and everlasting blessing to the world.
