Study Note
The exclamation 'For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty!' forms the doxological climax of Zechariah 9's vision of a restored and blessed people under the rule of the humble king (verse 9: 'thy king cometh unto thee... lowly, and riding upon an ass'). The connection between the king's arrival and the community's flourishing (grain for young men, new wine for maids) presents messianic restoration as material as well as spiritual abundance. Matthew 21:5 and John 12:15 cite Zechariah 9:9 ('thy king cometh, meek, and sitting upon an ass') to interpret the Triumphal Entry — making the subsequent doxology of 9:17 the telos toward which Palm Sunday pointed. The conjunction of divine goodness (tov) and beauty (yapheh) echoes Psalm 27:4's singular petition 'to behold the beauty of the Lord' — eschatological fulfilment is the unmediated experience of divine beauty.
