May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
John Gill
Yea, thou shall see thy children's children,.... A numerous race of descendants from him, which are the crown and glory of old men, Pro 17:6; this is also true of Christ's spiritual children by his church in successive ages, Isa 59:21; and peace upon Israel: all kind of prosperity, temporal and spiritual; peace, and abundance of it; as will be in the latter day, in the spiritual reign of Christ, Psa 72:8. It may be considered as a wish or prayer, with which the psalm is concluded; let "peace be upon Israel" (a), as in Psa 125:5; see Gal 6:16. (a) "pax sit super Israele", Cocceius; so Gejerus. Next: Psalms Chapter 129
