The Blueprint for Blessing

Commentators explain that this verse defines true, lasting blessedness. It's not found in circumstances, but in a life aligned with God's standards of justice and righteousness. The rest of Psalm 106 serves as a cautionary tale, showing how Israel missed this blessing through disobedience, reminding us that obedience is the pathway to happiness.
