Psalms 112:1 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord With the disposition of a dutiful child toward a kind and gracious father, not with that of a refractory slave toward a tyrannical and severe master, that reverences and fears to offend him. As the fear of God is man's only wisdom, Psalms 111:10, so it is his only way to true happiness. That delighteth greatly in his commandments Who makes it his chief care, business, and delight, to meditate on, understand, and obey God's commandments. It is here intimated, that zeal and fervency in God's service are essential to true piety.
