You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
This Psalm shows that God's blessing, which Solomon said He spreads to all mankind, appears most clearly in the lives of His true and sincere servants. The God-fearing man who walks in His ways receives it.

Commenting on Psalm 128:1-6
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands. The general doctrine in Ps 128:1 here receives a personal application: note the change to the second person: "thou shalt eat", etc. This is the portion of God's saints, —to work, and to find a reward in so doing. God is the God of labourers.
Those who truly fear the Lord and walk in His ways are blessed now and shall be blessed forever. This blessing belongs to all saints universally and to each particular person in his private interests: it shall be well with him.
