Psalms 128:6
that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
BSB
ASV
Yea, see thou thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
KJV
Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
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:
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. This is a great pleasure. Men live their young lives over again in their grandchildren. Does not Solomon say that "children's children are the crown of old men?" So they are. The good man is glad that a pious stock is likely to be continued; he rejoices in the belief that other homes as happy as his own will be built up wherein altars to the glory of God shall smoke with the morning and evening sacrifice.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
