Describeth the blessedness (λέγει τὸν μακαρισμὸν)
Μακαρισμός does not mean blessedness, but the declaration of blessedness, the congratulation. So Plato: “The man of understanding will not suffer himself to be dazzled by the congratulation (μακαρισμοῦ) of the multitude (“Republic,” ix., 591). Compare Gal 4:15 (Rev.), and see note there. Rev., correctly, pronounceth blessing.
