45:17 I will proclaim your greatness through the coming years, 1
then the nations will praise you 2 forever.
1 tn Heb “I will cause your name to be remembered in every generation and generation.” The cohortative verbal form expresses the poet’s resolve. The king’s “name” stands here for his reputation and character, which the poet praised in vv. 2-7.
2 sn The nations will praise you. As God’s vice-regent on earth, the king is deserving of such honor and praise.
