OBSERVATIONS OF THOSE WHO ARE BLESSED
The Psalmist made astute observations of some whose lives were obviously blessed. He wrote about how and why they were blessed.
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
Who walk in the law of the Lord!
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!
3 They also do no iniquity;
They walk in His ways.
