In the context of ancient Israel, a long life was associated with wisdom, prosperity, and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. The patriarchs, such as Abraham and Moses, are examples of individuals who lived long lives, symbolizing their close relationship with God. This promise can also be seen as a metaphor for eternal life, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises in the life to come.<p><b>I will satisfy him</b><br>Satisfaction here implies a sense of fulfillment and contentment that comes from God's provision and care. In the biblical context, satisfaction is not merely about physical needs but encompasses spiritual and emotional well-being. This reflects the idea that true satisfaction is found in a relationship with God, as seen in <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1</a>, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." The satisfaction promised by God is complete and holistic, addressing every aspect of life.<p><b>and show him My salvation.”</b><br>Salvation in this context refers to deliverance and protection, themes prevalent throughout <a href="/psalms/91.htm">Psalm 91</a>. This salvation is both temporal, involving protection from physical harm and danger, and eternal, pointing to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ. The concept of salvation is central to the biblical narrative, culminating in the New Testament with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
