Psalm 128
The Domestic Blessing of Jehovah Upon Restored Israel
The Domestic Blessing of Jehovah Upon Restored Israel
Psalm 128. This Psalm describes the blessedness of those who fear and trust the Lord, and it is prophetic of Israel restored in their land. It gives us the domestic life of Israel in the Millennium. We find that restored Israel will be fruitful in their land, with abundant crops, happiness and prosperity (v.2), wives and children (v.3), long life, and national peace (v.6).
PSALM 128
A Song of degrees.
1 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.
5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,
6 And see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
