He asked life of you, and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
All Commentaries on Psalms 21:4 Go To Psalms 21
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
And ever. David was much favoured, and reigned a long time, as well as his posterity, 2 Kings vii. 12, 29. But this was literally verified only in the Messias, (Calmet) who was his son; (Haydock) and founded his Church on a rock, to endure unto the end. (Calmet)
What do we ask for on earth? All will be lost if we have not life; and this we cannot obtain for ever, without rising again. Therefore Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life, John xi. 25.
We must live in him by faith, (Berthier) and suffer before we can expect a crown.
