Geneva Bible Notes (1560): Psalm 128

^{1 a} God approueth not our life, except it be reformed, according to his worde.

^{2 b} The worlde estemeth them happie, which liue in welth and ydlenes: but the holie Gost approueth them best, that liue of the meane profit of their labours.

^{2 !} He sheweth that blessednes apperteineth not to all vniuersally, but to them onely that feare the Lord and walke in his wayes.

^{3 c} Because Gods fauour appeareth in none outward thing more then in increase of children, he promiseth to enriche the faithful with this gift.

^{5 e} For except God blessed his Church publikely, this priuate blessing were nothing.
