In his days shall the righteous flourish. In Messiah's days, when his kingdom is fully established, the righteous will flourish and prosper, since the wicked will not be suffered to hinder them (comp.

Psalms 72:4; and see Butler's 'Analogy,' pt. 1, Psalms 3:1-8). And abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth; literally, till there be no longer a moon (comp. Psalms 72:5).
