Psalm 41:13
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. (Psalm 41:13)
Blessed be the Lord.
 A doxology marking the close of Book One (see p. 626). However, the doxology is also peculiarly pertinent following the observation of v. 2.
 Compare the close to the other sections of the psalms (Ps. 72:18, 19; 89:52; 106:48; 150).
Amen.
Heb. ’amen, “surely,” a word of solemn affirmation, made doubly emphatic at this point by repetition. The repetition may also suggest the response of the people when the psalm was used in public worship.
