“His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.”
The affirmation that the king's name would endure and be blessed as long as the sun articulates the perpetuity of the righteous king's reputation and blessing. The reference to nations being blessed through the king articulates that righteous rule brings blessing to all peoples. This verse expresses the eschatological vision of enduring righteous governance blessing all creation.
