On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He delights not only in God's promises, but in his precepts, and thinks himself happy under God's government as well as in his favour. It is a pleasure to him to be found in the way of his duty, and he is in his element when he is in the service of God.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

True fear produces obedience and this happiness. Temporal blessings follow the service of God, exceptions occurring only as they are seen by God to be inconsistent with those spiritual blessings which are better.
