Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 144:15

"Happy is the people that is in such a case; [Yea], happy is the people whose God is Jehovah." — Psalms 144:15 (ASV)

Happy. —It is only a narrow and one-sided religion that can see anything out of place in this beatitude of plenty and peace. If we could rejoice with the psalms, fully and without misgiving, in the temporal blessings bestowed by Heaven, we should the more readily and sincerely enter into the depths of their spiritual experience. And the secret of this lies in the full comprehension and contemplation of the beautiful and pleasant as the gift of God.
