Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - For thou shalt eat the labor of thine hands. This is the first point of the "blessedness." God's faithful servant shall enjoy the fruits of his own industry, and not have them devoured by strangers (comp. Deuteronomy 28:33; Leviticus 26:16; Psalm 109:11). Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee; rather, happy thou, and well is it with thee (comp. Deuteronomy 33:29).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) For thou.--The Hebrew by the position of the particle is more emphatic:"For it is the labour of thine hands thou shalt eat."(See Note, Psalm 116:10.) This picture of a successful and peaceful husbandry, which itself throws a whole flood of light on the condition of Palestine and of the people, now not nomadic but agricultural, is rendered still more emphatic by references to the numerous passages where it is foretold that enemies would devour the harvests (Deuteronomy 28:30-33; Leviticus 26:16).Happy.--The same word translated blessed in Psalm 128:1. . . .
