Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord and delights greatly in His commandments. That fear is reverence toward God, and that delight is a deep love for keeping what He has commanded. Such a one praises the Lord with both heart and voice in response to Him. The psalm is to be prayerfully considered for what it teaches about God's blessing resting upon those who give and labor for the salvation of the world. That blessing is bound up with giving to the poor and with a righteousness that endures.
