Thine, O Lord, is the
greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty,....
That is, either God is possessed of all greatness and immensity, of dignity of
nature, and of all perfections; of almighty power, of excellent glory, of superiority
to all beings and of honour, and majesty, and all that grandeur, might, and
honour in men, and victory over others; the majestic appearance they make, and
exaltation above others they have, are all of God. For all that is in the heaven and in the earth
is thine; they are both made by him, and all that is in them, and therefore he
has the sole right unto them. Thine is
the kingdom, O Lord; of nature and Providence; he has the sole dominion over
all creatures, and the sovereign disposal of all things,and thou art exalted as
head above all; men on earth, and angels in heaven.
“Now to him who is able to
do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power that is
at work within us.” (Eph 3:20)
Exceeding abundantly - The
compound word used here occurs only in this place, and in 1 Thessalonians 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:13. It
means, to an extent which we cannot express.
Above all that we ask or think
- More than all that we can desire in our prayers; more than all that we can
conceive; see the notes on 1 Corinthians 2:9.
According to the power that
worketh in us - The exertion of that same power can accomplish for us more than
we can now conceive.
