61:6-7 Prolong the Life of the King. If God will prolong the life of the king, and appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him (cf. Prov. 20:28), then the community of God's people may rest secure in God's blessing. Such a king would be faithful to God and committed to the well-being of the people (contrast the unjust rulers of Psalm 58).
