A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! May you see your children's children! Peace be upon Israel!

An interesting progression of blessings as a result of fearing the LORD. If I will walk in His ways, I will be blessed by:

1) eating the fruit of my labors

2) all will go well with you.

3) your wife will be a Provebrs 31 woman

4) you will have many delightful children

5) you will enjoy the peace of the land.

If that listing is not enjoying the fruit of your hands, I don’t know what it would be.
