A thanksgiving for victory7. with confidence of further success For You grant him blessings forever The phrase "For You grant him blessings forever" speaks to the eternal nature of God's favor and benevolence. The Hebrew word for "grant" is "nathan," which means to give or bestow. This indicates a deliberate and generous act from God towards the king, who is traditionally understood to be David in this context. The word "blessings" comes from the Hebrew "berakah," which implies a divine favor that results in prosperity and happiness. The use of "forever" (Hebrew: "olam") emphasizes the perpetual and unending nature of these blessings. Historically, this reflects the covenantal promises God made to David, ensuring his lineage and kingdom would endure. This eternal perspective encourages believers to trust in God's promises, knowing that His blessings are not temporary but everlasting.

Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance; i.e. with thy favour and protection, so frequently and so markedly extended to him.Parallel Commentaries ...
