Psalm Ps. 128. This wisdom psalm expands some of the topics in Psalm 127. Psalm 127 ended with the “blessed . . . man” (127:5), and Psalm 128 gives a further description of this man. For the ancient Israelites, blessedness consisted of a productive farm, with a faithful wife and children around the table together (see note on Prov. 10:4).
Ps. 128:1–4 eat the fruit of the labor of your hands. This is a covenant blessing. Compare Deut. 28:1–6 and contrast Deut. 28:33.
Ps. 128:5–6 May you see your children’s children. This includes living to be old enough to see one’s grandchildren and the delight they give (Prov. 17:6). It also includes the prospect of a faithful family line (Ps. 103:17). With such faithfulness and blessedness, peace would indeed be upon Israel.
