OT: The Book of Psalms, Psalm 128

Psalm 128:1-5

128:1 Blessed is everyone who reveres God and walks in His ways. To revere God is to respect and trust and agree with His philosophy of righteousness. And the path of righteousness is blessed. To walk in God's ways is to follow, steadfastly the law and commandments He has established as wise and fruitful.

128:2-4 And to do so is to have every aspect of your life blessed by God. The work you do with your hands, the relationships you create in your heart. God causes the righteous to prosper; He takes care of the people we love. He secures and protects our homes and our tables. He fills and satisfies our bellies and our minds. And so we, wisely, gratefully, revere Him. 

128:5-6 The Lord blesses His children all the days of their lives; His loves continues to their posterity. Peace is His gift to His children. And peace is His presence and His promises.
