The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 145:13

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

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom (comp. Daniel 4:3, Daniel 4:34). It is inconceivable that God's kingdom should come to an end. He cannot will it to cease, and so dethrone himself. Much less can any other, and necessarily inferior, power overthrow it.

And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. This is rather an anti-climax, since the generations of men will one day cease; but it was a customary phrase (Psalms 33:11; Psalms 45:17; Psalms 49:11; Psalms 61:6; Psalms 62:5, etc.

), and brought home to men the thought that his special "dominion" was over them.
