| Ps 144:15 | King James | Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Happy is that people that is in such a case - In such a condition; or, where these things prevail. Yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord - Whose God is Yahweh; who worship and serve Him as their God. The worship of Yahweh - the religion of Yahweh - is "adapted" to make a people happy; peaceful; quiet; blessed. Prosperity and peace, such as are referred to in the previous verses, are, and must be, the result of pure religion. Peace, order, abundance, attend it everywhere, and the best security for a nation's prosperity is the worship of God; that which is most certain to make a nation happy and blessed, is to acknowledge God and to keep his laws. |
