PSALM 128

. The temporal blessings of true piety. The eighth chapter
of Zecariah is a virtual commentary on this Psalm. Compare [Psalms 128:3](../../../kjv/psalms/128/3);
[Zechariah 8:5](../../../kjv/zechariah/8/5); and [Psalms 128:2](../../../kjv/psalms/128/2);
[Leviticus 26:16](../../../kjv/leviticus/26/16); [Deuteronomy 28:33](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/28/33);
[Zechariah 8:10](../../../kjv/zechariah/8/10); and [Psalms 128:6](../../../kjv/psalms/128/6);
[Zechariah 8:4](../../../kjv/zechariah/8/4).

**1.** (Compare ).

**2. For thou shalt eat**—that is,
It is a blessing to live on the fruits of one's own industry.

**3. by the sides**—or, "within"
([Psalms 48:2](../../../kjv/psalms/48/2)).
**olive plants**—are
peculiarly luxuriant ([Psalms 52:8](../../../kjv/psalms/52/8)).

**5.** In temporal blessings the
pious do not forget the richer blessings of God's grace, which they
shall ever enjoy.

**6.** Long life crowns all other
temporal favors. As [Psalms 125:5](../../../kjv/psalms/125/5),
this Psalm closes with a prayer for peace, with prosperity for God's
people.
