PSALM 128
This song parallels Psalm 112 and reminds you of the blessings God sends when you fear the Lord and walk in obedience to His Word.
God will bring you enjoyment in employment (v. 2) so that your work will be a blessing and not a curse. Your work will be a ministry for the Lord.
God will bless you at home, beginning at the heart of the home (your spouse) and touching everybody else around the table. Your home will be a fruitful garden, not an ugly desert.
The blessing will then spread to the city and the nation, and it will go from generation to generation (vv. 5–6).
“The beauty of the house is order; The blessing of the house is contentment; The glory of the house is hospitality; The crown of the house is godliness.”
