What does it mean to be a blessed person according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

A blessed person is one who trusts in the Lord and finds their hope in Him, bearing spiritual fruit.

Being a blessed person, as described in the Bible, is characterized by a deep trust in the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7 illustrates this blessing as 'Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord.' Such trust is reflective of a relationship that not only relies on God for salvation but also for daily sustenance. The blessed person is like a tree planted by streams of water, consistently yielding fruit even in adverse circumstances. This imagery signifies spiritual vitality, growth, and the ability to endure hardships. The psalmist reiterates this in Psalm 92, where the righteous flourish and bear fruit in old age, demonstrating that God's blessings are comprehensive and enduring.
