Psalms 128:5
The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
128:5. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion. A spiritual blessing will be received by the gracious man, and this will crown all his temporal mercies. He is one among the many who make up God’s inheritance; his tent is part and parcel of the encampment around the tabernacle; and therefore when the benediction is pronounced at the center it will radiate to him in his place. Zion was the center of blessing, and to it the people looked when they sought for mercy: from the altar of sacrifice, from the mercy-seat, from the Shekinah-light, indeed from Jehovah himself the blessing will come to each one of his holy people.
And thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. He will have a patriot’s joy as well as a patriarch’s peace. God will give him to see his country prosper, and its metropolitan city flourish. This favor is to be permanent throughout the good man’s life, and that life is to be a long one, for he is to see his sons’ sons. Many a time does true religion bring such blessings to men; and when these good things are denied them, they have a greater reward as a compensation.
