“Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.”
Praise the LORD! Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in his commandments. The paired acrostic psalm begins with the beatitude that those fearing God experience happiness ('happy are those'). The delight in God's 'commandments' suggests that obedience becomes a source of joy rather than burden. This verse establishes that fearing God leads to flourishing.
