The LORD will reign forever and ever!”
Those who held their peace while deliverance was working must not hold it when the work is done. Singing psalms is the language of holy joy as prayer is of holy desire. Strike while the mercy is fresh; when the heart is most affected, praise returns quickest to God, before time and our own deceitfulness dull the impression.

Commenting on Exodus 15:1-21
This Lord who reigns forever is none other than Jesus Christ himself. His kingdom began in eternity, He ruled throughout the Old Testament, and now by His Spirit He governs the hearts of His people; one day He will reign visibly and gloriously with all His saints, while the reigns of all earthly potentates, however cruel, end in time, but His reign has no end.
AI summary
The people join in grand chorus: the Lord shall reign forever and onward, for evermore, as we say, not merely through time but through all duration. His dominion remains ever the same, active and infinitely extending, over the world and the Church alike, under law and Gospel both.
