Psalms 128:1

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 128:1

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord (comp. ; ); that walketh in his ways. The psalmist assumes that true religious fear of God, and a good and holy life, will necessarily go together.

The point on which he wishes to insist is that on every such case will rest God's blessing.
