Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the ground which You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers.'Looking at this verse alone, it almost sounds like a demand of the people. However, that's not the case. This is instead a request, entreating God to do as He had promised, now that they have followed His commands.
God made a promise to their descendants, and He gave them instructions on what they should do to ensure that those promises were kept. Now, as they as supposed to have done, they are in the land, and now are calling upon God to follow through with His promises and give them the blessing and inheritance that God promised their forefathers.
