The Book of Psalms

Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET

PSALM 128

Psa 128:1-6. The temporal blessings of true piety. The eighth chapter of Zecariah is a virtual commentary on this Psalm. Compare Psa 128:3; and Psa 128:2 Deu 28:33 Zec 8:10; and Psa 128:6.

      1. (Compare Psa 1:1 ).

      2. For thou shalt eat--that is, It is a blessing to live on the fruits of one's own industry.

      3. by the sides--or, "within" ( Psa 48:2 ).
      olive plants--are peculiarly luxuriant ( Psa 52:8 ).

      5. In temporal blessings the pious do not forget the richer blessings of God's grace, which they shall ever enjoy.

      6. Long life crowns all other temporal favors. As Psa 125:5, this Psalm closes with a prayer for peace, with prosperity for God's people.
