The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 22:28

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

For the kingdom is the Lord's (comp. Psalms 96:10; Psalms 97:1). Christ has taken the kingdom, and even now rules on the earth—not yet wholly over willing subjects, but over a Church that is ever expanding more and more, and tending to become universal.

And he is the Governor among the nations. Not the Governor of one nation only, but of all.
