2. For thou shalt eat--that is, It is a blessing to live on the fruits of one's own industry. 3. by the sides--or, "within" (Ps 48:2). olive plants--are peculiarly luxuriant (Ps 52:8). 5. In temporal blessings the pious do not forget the richer blessings of God's grace, which they shall ever enjoy. 6. Long life crowns all other temporal favors. As Ps 125:5, this Psalm closes with a prayer for peace, with prosperity for God's people.
