Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 1:9

_ _ iniquity — “unrighteousness.” Some oldest manuscripts read, “lawlessness.”

_ _ therefore — because God loves righteousness and hates iniquity.

_ _ God ... thy God — Jerome, Augustine, and others translate Psalms 45:7, “O God, Thy God, hath anointed thee,” whereby Christ is addressed as God. This is probably the true translation of the Hebrew there, and also of the Greek of Hebrews here; for it is likely the Son is addressed, “O God,” as in Hebrews 1:8. The anointing here meant is not that at His baptism, when He solemnly entered on His ministry for us; but that with the “oil of gladness,” or “exulting joy” (which denotes a triumph, and follows as the consequence of His manifested love of righteousness and hatred of iniquity), wherewith, after His triumphant completion of His work, He has been anointed by the Father above His fellows (not only above us, His fellow men, the adopted members of God’s family, whom “He is not ashamed to call His brethren,” but above the angels, fellow partakers in part with Him, though infinitely His inferiors, in the glories, holiness, and joys of heaven; “sons of God,” and angel “messengers,” though subordinate to the divine Angel — “Messenger of the covenant”). Thus He is antitype to Solomon, “chosen of all David’s many sons to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel,” even as His father David was chosen before all the house of his father’s sons. The image is drawn from the custom of anointing guests at feasts (Psalms 23:5); or rather of anointing kings: not until His ascension did He assume the kingdom as Son of man. A fuller accomplishment is yet to be, when He shall be VISIBLY the anointed King over the whole earth (set by the Father) on His holy hill of Zion, Psalms 2:6, Psalms 2:8. So David, His type, was first anointed at Bethlehem (1 Samuel 16:13; Psalms 89:20); and yet again at Hebron, first over Judah (2 Samuel 2:4), then over all Israel (2 Samuel 5:3); not till the death of Saul did he enter on his actual kingdom; as it was not till after Christ’s death that the Father set Him at His right hand far above all principalities (Ephesians 1:20, Ephesians 1:21). Psalms 45:1-17 in its first meaning was addressed to Solomon; but the Holy Spirit inspired the writer to use language which in its fullness can only apply to the antitypical Solomon, the true Royal Head of the theocracy.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 1:4-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 1:9

Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity — Thou art infinitely pure and holy. Therefore God — Who, as thou art Mediator, is thy God. Hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness — With the Holy Ghost, the fountain of joy. Above thy fellows — Above all the children of men.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 1:9

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated (r) iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God, hath (s) anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy (t) fellows.

(r) This type of speech in which the Jews use contrasting phrases, has great force in it.

(s) In that, that the word became flesh, by sending the Holy Spirit on him without measure.

(t) For he is the head and we are his members.
