About this psalm
An ordinary blessing for an ordinary life. Thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. The picture it gives is domestic and unglamorous — a wife like a fruitful vine, children like olive plants round about thy table — and then it widens to the peace of the whole city.

1Blessed 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.
