Commentary
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.
