Psalm 41:13 is a conclusion with an expression of worship, declaring, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. (v. 13). The psalm, commonly attributed to King David (who reigned around 1010-970 BC), highlights his trust in God amidst adversity. Here, David closes with a hymn of praise, recognizing that God reigns eternally, beyond any temporal barriers. This reference to Israel recalls the promised land, located in the eastern Mediterranean region, first bequeathed to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whose descendants formed the nation that honored the Lord as their covenant God. In this final verse, David firmly centers all his previous pleas and reflections in divine worship, thereby acknowledging that God, who led Israel through trials and victories, remains worthy of praise across all generations.
The phrase from everlasting to everlasting testifies to God’s timeless existence and supreme authority. Even as David’s personal challenges fade from view, the psalmist calls readers to magnify the Lord’s name. This statement evokes the broader biblical truth that God’s nature never changes (Hebrews 13:8), confirming Him as the One who is eternally faithful to His people. David’s enthusiastic double affirmation - Amen and Amen - hints at a communal assent to the praise of God, inviting others to proclaim that everything good ultimately flows from the Lord’s everlasting nature.
By calling God the God of Israel, David reminds us of the Lord’s intimate involvement with His covenant people, who repeatedly witnessed His delivering power through the centuries. This concluding declaration shows that no matter the trials or betrayals described earlier in the psalm, God remains sovereign and benevolent. For believers in later generations, including those who come to know Jesus’s history-shaping role (Romans 10:12), the unchanging identity of God continues to be a fount of assurance and cause for faithful worship.
