Exegesis
The second half of the verse is the exclamatory clause hosanna en tois hypsistois {ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις | hō-san-nà en toîs hyp-sís-tois}, in which the Hebrew loanword hosanna operates as a vocative-like shout of praise and appeal, while the prepositional phrase en tois hypsistois, with the superlative adjective used substantively, denotes “in the highest (realms).” In translation, the nominal structure “Blessed the coming kingdom” is rendered as “Blessed is the coming kingdom” to produce idiomatic English while preserving the focus on the “coming kingdom,” and the second clause is kept as a direct acclamation to retain its liturgical, crowd-chant character.
In context — Mark 11:10
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David ; Hosanna in the highest.
