The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 128:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. This is mentioned as the crowning blessing granted to Job in his second period of happiness (Job 42:16). It is here promised to the faithful generally, And peace upon Israel. This is best taken as a detached clause, like the concluding clause of Psalms 125:1-5; and rendered, "Peace be upon Israel."
