Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.
All Commentaries on Psalms 112:1 Go To Psalms 112
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
2. "Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he will have great delight in His commandments" (ver. 1). God, who alone judgeth both truthfully and mercifully, will see how far he obeyeth His commandments: since "the life of man on earth is a temptation," as holy Job saith. But "He who judgeth us is the Lord." ...He therefore will see how far each man profiteth in His commandments; yet he who loveth the peace of this building together, shall have great delight in them; nor ought he to despair, since there is "peace on earth for men of good will."
