The "descendants" refer to the spiritual lineage of those who serve God, reminiscent of the promises made to Abraham in <a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>, where God assures him that his offspring will inherit the land. This inheritance is not merely physical but also spiritual, pointing to the eternal promises fulfilled in Christ. The concept of inheritance is central to the biblical narrative, symbolizing the blessings and responsibilities bestowed upon God's people. In the New Testament, this is expanded to include all believers as heirs with Christ (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>).<p><b>and those who love His name will settle in it</b><br>Loving God's name implies a deep, personal relationship with Him, characterized by reverence and obedience. This love is not just emotional but is demonstrated through faithful living. The promise of settling in the land is a metaphor for peace and security, reflecting the ultimate rest found in God's presence. This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of God preparing a place for His people, as seen in <a href="/john/14-2.htm">John 14:2-3</a>, where Jesus speaks of preparing a place for His followers. The idea of "settling" also points to the eschatological hope of the new heavens and new earth, where God's people will dwell with Him eternally (<a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1-3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, David is expressing a deep sense of distress and seeking God's deliverance.
