His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth - literally, 'a warrior upon earth:' upon that very earth whereon wicked men have boasted of their 'war-like might' for mischief ().

The generation of the upright - answering to "his seed" in parallelism.

Shall be blessed - explaining the parallel, "shall be mighty upon earth." This is but partially realized now: it shall be fully so in the millennial age, when Israel, the model people, as "the righteous nation" (; ), and all "the meek, shall inherit the earth," and the ungodly men of might shall be dispossessed (Psalms 37:9).
