Psalms128:2
Verſ. 2 For thou ſhalt eat the labour of thy hands] That is, thou ſhalt reap and receive the ſweet of thy ſweat; whether it bee of the brow, or of the brain, according to the kind of thy calling.Iſa. 57.10. And although thou bee forced to, live by the labour of thine hands (whence mans life is called the life of his hands) yet that ſhall bee no hinderance to thy happineſs, but a furtherance of thine account.
Happy ſhalt thou bee, and O ſhall bee [illegible: 1 word] with thee] The Chaldee thus expoundeth it, Happy thou in this World; and good ſhall it bee unto thee in the World to come.
