Ps. 128:0 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm contains a description of the blessedness of good men. The psalmist showeth the happy state of such as fear God, in his labour, Ps. 128:1–2, wife, and children, Ps. 128:3, He shall also see the good of Jerusalem, and peace upon Israel, Ps. 128:4–6.

Thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands; thy labour shall not be vain and fruitless, and the fruit of thy labours shall not be taken away from thee, and possessed by others, as God threatened to the disobedient, Deut. 28:0, but enjoyed by thyself with comfort and satisfaction.

As a fruitful vine; like the vine for fruitfulness; or like that sort of vines known by this name for its eminent fruitfulness, as some trees amongst us are for the same reason called the great bearers.

Out of Zion; from the ark in Zion, and with those spiritual and everlasting blessings which are to be had no where but in Zion, and from the God who dwelleth in Zion, and with all other mercies which thou shalt ask of God in Zion.

Not only upon Jerusalem, and the parts adjacent, but upon all the tribes and people of Israel.
