Happy is he and it is good for him

Happy is he and it is good for him

It is good for him. He is happy and content. He has a reason to feel good.

(Happy are you and it is good for you) ("When you eat the labor of your hands, happy are you and it is good for you" - Psalms 128:2, and similarly: "When you eat the labor of your hands" - these are good deeds a person does in this world, and what is his reward? "Happy are you and it is good for you" - happy are you in this world, and it is good for you in the world to come" - Midrash Bamidbar Rabbah 8, and likewise: "I envy you, Binyamin, there you shall fill your belly with carobs and figs and dates. Happy are you and it is good for you!" - Mendele Mokher Sefarim/Masaot Binyamin HaShlishi, 27, and: "Happy are you and it is good for you that you were born here and you do not know what antisemitic gentiles are" - A. Amir/Ahavat Shaul, 202)
