With long life
The phrase "with long life" in Psalm 91:16 speaks to the promise of longevity and the blessing of extended days. In the Hebrew text, the word for "long" is "orek," which implies not just a lengthy duration but a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. This promise is often seen as a reward for faithfulness and obedience to God. Historically, long life was considered a sign of divine favor and blessing, as seen in the lives of patriarchs like Abraham and Moses. In a spiritual sense, this phrase can also be interpreted as the promise of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing the eternal perspective of life beyond physical years.

I will satisfy him
The word "satisfy" comes from the Hebrew "saba," which means to be full or to have one's desires fully met. This satisfaction is not merely physical or material but encompasses spiritual and emotional fulfillment. In the biblical context, true satisfaction comes from a relationship with God, who meets the deepest needs of the human heart. This promise assures believers that God will provide all that is necessary for a contented and fulfilled life, echoing the sentiments of Psalm 23:1, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

and show him My salvation
The phrase "and show him My salvation" is a profound promise of divine revelation and deliverance. The Hebrew word for "salvation" is "yeshu'ah," which is closely related to the name Yeshua (Jesus), highlighting the messianic promise of deliverance through Christ. This salvation is not only a rescue from physical danger but also a spiritual deliverance from sin and death. In the historical context, salvation often referred to God's deliverance of Israel from their enemies. For Christians, this promise is fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who provides ultimate salvation and eternal life. The assurance of seeing God's salvation is a source of hope and encouragement, reminding believers of God's faithfulness and the eternal security found in Him.

(16) Long Life.--The promise of a long life, while in accordance with the general feeling of the Old Testament, is peculiarly appropriate at the close of this psalm, which all through speaks of protection from danger that threatened life.

Verse 16. - With long life (or, length of days) will I satisfy him. Length of days is always viewed in the Old Testament as a blessing, and a special reward for obedience (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16; 2 Kings 20:6; 2 Chronicles 1:11; Psalm 21:4; Proverbs 3:2, 16, etc.). It is only in the New Testament that we learn how much "better" it is "to depart, and be with Christ" (Philippians 1:23). And show him my salvation (comp. Psalm 50:23); i.e. "make him experience what salvation is." "Salvation," as Professor Cheyne observes, "is both an act and a state" - an act on God's part, a state on man's.
