Psalms 128:4
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
128:4. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. It is not to be inferred that all blessed men are married, and are fathers, but that this is the way in which the Lord favors godly people who are placed in domestic life. He makes their relationships happy and profitable. In this fashion does Jehovah bless God-fearing households, for he is the God of all the families of Israel. Family blessedness comes from the Lord, and is a part of his plan for the preservation of a godly race, and for the maintenance of his worship in the land. To the Lord alone we must look for it. The possession of riches will not insure it; the choice of a healthy and beautiful bride will not insure it; the birth of numerous comely children will not insure it: there must be the blessing of God, the influence of piety, the result of holy living.
