Peace. Or, “prosperity”, “success” (see on Isa. 57:19).

Like a river. See ch. 48:18.

Glory. Heb. kabod, here probably meaning “wealth”, as in chs. 10:3; 61:6. On the wealth of the Gentiles see on ch. 60:5.

Upon her sides. Compare ch. 60:4. In Oriental countries children are often carried on the mother’s hip.
