Psalm 128:1
128:1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth
the LORD; that walketh in his {a} ways.
(a) God approves not our life, unless it is reformed
according to his word.
Psalm 128:2
128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine {b} hands: happy
[shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.
(b) The world esteems them happy who live in wealth and
idleness but the Holy Spirit approves them best who
live of the mean profit of their labours.
Psalm 128:3
128:3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of
thine house: thy {c} children like olive plants round
about thy table.
(c) Because God's favour appears in no outward thing more
than in the increase of children, he promises to
enrich the faithful with this gift.
Psalm 128:5
128:5 The LORD shall {d} bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt
see the good of {e} Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
(d) Because of the spiritual blessing which God has made
to his Church, these temporal things will be granted.
(e) For unless God blessed his Church publicly, this
private blessing was nothing.
