The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
1. Blessed. See how this Book of Psalms opens with a benediction, as did the famous
Sermon of our Lord on the Mount! The word translated blessed is plural,
and it is a controverted matter whether it is an adjective or a substantive.
Hence we may learn the multiplicity of the blessings which will rest on those
whom God has justified, and the perfection and greatness of the blessedness
they will enjoy. We might read it, “Oh, the
blessednesses!” and we may well regard it (as Ainsworth does) as a joyful acclamation
of the gracious man’s felicity. May the like benediction rest on us!
