Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
Psalms 128:1-6.-The fear of God brings blessedness. Israel, returned from Babylon, and suffering through the Samaritan foes, is hereby comforted. The community, not merely the individual fearer of God, as in Psalms 127:1-5, is referred to (cf. Psalms 128:5-6; Lamentations 3:1).
Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord that walketh in his ways. The true way to show, we 'fear the Lord' is by 'walking in His ways.' Those alone are entitled to the promised 'blessedness' who, by obedience, evidence the reality of their faith and reverential fear toward God.
