128:5-6 May the Lord Allow You to See Such Happiness. This section prays that each member of God's people might know such a condition of blessedness--a condition that will benefit the whole of God's people (Jerusalem). May you see your children's children. This includes living to be old enough to see one's grandchildren and the delight they give (Prov. 17:6); within the people of God it includes the prospect of a faithful family line (Ps. 103:17). With such faithfulness and blessedness, peace would indeed be upon Israel.
