You will prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a heritage to be desired.
He asked life of you, and you gave it to him, even length of days for ever and ever.
For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceedingly glad with your countenance.
Yet it was the will of the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days, and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
