Salmos 61:6

6 Días sobre días añadirás al Rey; sus años serán de generación a generación

Salmos 61:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 61:6

Thou wilt prolong the King's life
Or "add days to the days of the King" ^F1. Meaning either himself, who, though his life was in danger by fighting with the Syrians and Edomites, or rather through the conspiracy of his son; yet was assured that he should yet live many years more, and especially in his posterity; and that his kingdom would be established for ever, as was promised him, ( 2 Samuel 7:12-16 ) . Or rather the King Messiah, so the Targum: and Kimchi observes, that if this psalm respects the captivity, the King is the King Messiah: it may be understood of his life as man; who, though he died, rose again, and lives for evermore; and that, as to the glory of God the Father, so to the good of his people, for whom he makes intercession; and of the continuance of his spiritual seed, in whom he may be said to live, and his days be prolonged, ( Isaiah 53:10 ) ; and of the duration of his kingdom, of which there will be no end. For it is an everlasting one, as follows:

[and] his years as many generations;
he living, and his posterity and kingdom continuing, age after age. The Targum is,

``his years as the generations of this world, and the generations of the world to, come.''
