Yea, thou shall see thy children’s children, etc.] A numerous race of descendants from him, which are the crown and glory of old men, (<201706>Proverbs 17:6); this is also true of Christ’s spiritual children by his church in successive ages, (<235921>Isaiah 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, (<197208>Psalm 72:8). It may be considered as a wish or prayer, with which the psalm is concluded; let “peace be upon Israel”f1773, as in (<19C505>Psalm 125:5); (see <480616>Galatians 6:16).
