For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations.
In the psalm's telling of the Messiah's suffering and vindication, the declaration of divine kingship stands as the outcome of that work. It comes after the promise that peoples from every nation will turn to the Lord and worship Him. The kingdom belongs to the Lord, and He rules as governor among the nations. That sovereignty means the destiny of nations, the concerns of God's church, and the course of coming events remain in God's hands.
