02.127. Psalm 127

Psalms 127:1-5 A Song of degrees for Solomon. This psalm relates to David’s orders for building the temple, 1 Chronicles 22:1-19, 1 Chronicles 28:1-21; or to Solomon’s actual building of it, 2 Chronicles 2:1-18, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17, 2 Chronicles 4:1-22, 2 Chronicles 5:1-14, 2 Chronicles 6:1-42. It teacheth us constant dependence on God, in all our concerns; particularly in, (1.) Prospering our undertakings, or rearing our families; and in protecting our residence and country, Psalms 127:1. (2.) In enriching us without excessive care or labour, Psalms 127:2. (3.) In giving us agreeable heirs to possess our substance, Psalms 127:3-5. In all my undertakings, let me set the Lord always before me! and depend on his blessing, as the source of my success. In all my enjoyments, let my care be to enjoy God himself.
