Samuel Smith: Quote:
Ver. 1. Blessed is the man that hath not, &c.
Blessed is the man, or, oh the blessedness of that man, or as it is in the original, 'Oh the blessedness of that man!' They seem to be the words of a man musing and meditating with himself wherein man's blessedness should consist, as if he should say, Some pronounce him blessed that is in honour; some count them blessed that have abundance of riches, some that live in pleasure; some place it in one thing, some in another. But oh the blessedness of that man that fears the Lord, that is truly religious, of the godly and righteous man!
