Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.

O the happiness of thy men, O the happiness of thy servants, these, who are standing before thee continually, who are hearing thy wisdom!

Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.

Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.

Happy are thy men - All these are very natural expressions from a person in her state of mind.

Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy (c) wisdom.
(c) But much more happy are they, who hear the wisdom of God revealed in his word.

Happy are thy men,.... The men of Israel, that had a king over them so wise, so great, so good:
happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom; who were now present, and to whom she pointed, and may respect not his nobles and courtiers only, but his menial servants, who had an opportunity of often hearing the wise sayings which dropped from his lips; and which no doubt were means of greatly improving their knowledge and understanding in things natural and divine.

Happy, &c. - With much more reason may we say this of Christ's servants: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be always praising thee.
