Blessed is the Man*
*Note: The use of the word "Man"
denotes all members of the Human Race, not just the Male of the species.
Blessedness= happiness
identified with pure character. Being favored, prosperity
enjoying spiritual happiness and the favor of God; enjoying the
great happiness of Heaven. Inward happiness regardless of exterior
circumstances.
(Psalm 1 KJV)
Blessed is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in
the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in
the seat of the scornful.
{2} But his
delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law
doth he meditate day and night.
{3} And he
shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth
forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
{4} The ungodly
are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth
away.
{5}
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in
the congregation of the righteous.
{6} For the LORD
knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.
(Psa 32:2-6 KJV)
Blessed is the
man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose
spirit there is no guile.
{3} When I
kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day
long.
{4} For
day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
{5} I
acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will
confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
and thou
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
{6} For this
shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be
found:
surely in the
floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
(Psa 34:8-9 KJV)
O taste
and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is
the man that trusteth in him.
{9} O fear
the LORD, ye his saints:
for there is no
want to them that fear him.
(Psa 65:4-6 KJV)
Blessed is
the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto
thee,
that he
may dwell in thy courts:
we shall be
satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy
temple.
{5} By
terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;
who art the
confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and of them that
are afar off upon the sea:
{6} Which
by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with
power:
(Psa 84:4-5 KJV)
Blessed
are they that dwell in thy house:
they will be
still praising thee. Selah.
{5}
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
in whose heart
are the ways of them.
(Psa 84:9-12 KJV)
Behold, O
God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
{10} For a day
in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be
a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
{11} For the
LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing
will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
{12} O LORD of
hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
(Psa 94:12-19 KJV)
Blessed is
the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD,
and
teachest him out of thy law;
{13} That thou
mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the
pit be digged for the wicked.
{14} For the
LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
{15} But
judgment shall return unto righteousness:
and all the
upright in heart shall follow it.
{16} Who
will rise up for me against the evildoers?
or who will
stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
{17} Unless the
LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
{18} When I
said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
{19} In the
multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my
soul.
(Psa 112:1-4 KJV)
Praise ye
the LORD.
Blessed is the
man that feareth the LORD,
that delighteth
greatly in his commandments.
{2} His
seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
{3} Wealth and
riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
{4} Unto the
upright there ariseth light in the darkness:
he is gracious,
and full of compassion, and righteous.
(Prov 8:10-15 KJV) & (Prov 8:32-36
KJV)
Receive my
instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice
gold.
{11} For
wisdom is better than rubies;
and all the
things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
{12} I wisdom
dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty
inventions.
{13} The
fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
{14} Counsel is
mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
{15} By me kings
reign, and princes decree justice......
(Prov 8:32-36
KJV) Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:
for
blessed are they that keep my ways.
{33} Hear
instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
{34}
Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching daily
at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
{35} For whoso
findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
{36} But he that
sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
all they that
hate me love death.
(Isa 56:1-2 KJV)
Thus saith the
LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice:
for my salvation
is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
{2}
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it;
that keepeth the
sabbath from polluting it,
and keepeth his
hand from doing any evil.
(Jer 17:7-10 KJV)
Blessed is
the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD
is.
{8} For he
shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that
spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not
see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be
careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
{9} The heart is
deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
{10} I the LORD
search the heart, I try the reins{Heb=the mind as the interior self},
even to give
every man according to his ways,
and according to
the fruit of his doings.
(Rom 4:5-8 KJV)
But to him that
worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,
his faith is
counted for righteousness.
{6} Even as
David also describeth the blessedness of the man,
unto whom God
imputeth righteousness without works,
{7} Saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are
covered.
{8}
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
(James 1:12-16 KJV)
Blessed is
the man that endureth temptation:
for when he is
tried, he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord
hath promised to them that love him.
{13} Let no man
say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God cannot
be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
{14} But
every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
{15} Then when
lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
when it is
finished, bringeth forth death.
{16} Do not err,
my beloved brethren.
