Psalms 128:6
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
128:6. Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children. He rejoices in the belief that other homes will be built up wherein altars to the glory of God will smoke with the morning and evening sacrifice. This promise implies long life rendered happy by its being continued in our offspring. It is one token of the immortality of man that he derives joy from extending his life in the lives of his descendants.
And peace upon Israel. We count it our own prosperity for the chosen of the Lord to find rest and quiet. Jacob knew little of peace; but yet the Lord delivered him out of all his tribulations, and brought him to a place of rest in Goshen, and afterwards to sleep with his fathers in the cave of Machpelah. His glorious Seed was grievously afflicted and at last crucified; but he has risen to eternal peace, and in his peace we dwell. Israel’s spiritual descendants share his conditions, but there remains a rest for them also, and they will have peace from the God of peace. Israel was a praying petitioner in the days of his wrestling, but he became a prevailing prince, and therein his soul found peace.
