Comment – Psalm 128 refers to the true joy given by God to all those who fear him, walking along his ways. The fear of God leads to the wisdom that consists in learning to know the word of God by applying it to one's own existence by joyfully walking the paths, even tortuous ones, that he has prepared for us.
