The Blessing of Obedience
1{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
Commentary
This psalm reminds us that obedience to God brings great blessings, not just in the next life, but in this current one as well. When we honor God in all we do, we reap the benefits of his favor and providence. This applies to all aspects of life, including family, work, and relationships with others. Ultimately, Psalm 128 points us towards a life of contentment and peace through a faithful relationship with our loving Creator.
