The for ever of this world is a long time. The Lord saith of Zion, (Psal. 132.14.) Here will I dwell for ever, that is, long. Thus in the text, He will establish them for ever, that is, they shall have long establishment. And if we take it as to their exaltation in the other world, there God will establish them to the utmost latitude of for ever, that is, to eternity. The Septuagint translate,1 He will establish them to victory. The same word in the Hebrew, signifies eternity, and also victory, because eternity overcomes and triumphs over all: The Lord shall settle them to victory; and that may have a good interpretation, with respect to the power of God in settling them; He shall settle them to victory, that is, they shall (in his power) overcome all difficulties that stand in the way of their establishment.
