Exegesis
The paired nouns olam vaʿed {עוֹלָם וָעֶד | ʿō-lām wā-ʿe-ʾd} ‘forever and ever’ build intensity via synonymous parallelism. The perfect–perfect sequence underscores divine granting as the result of human petition and emphasizes intimate divine-human interaction.
In context — Psalm 21:4
He asked life from You ; You gave him length of days, forever and ever.
