את :וקללה ברכה היום לפניכם נתן אנכי ראה” אשר אלקיכם ‘ה מצות אל תשמעו אשר הברכה (כז-כו יא) “אתכם מצוה אנכי
The passuk in Tehillim (128:4): “Henei ki chein yevorach gever yirei Hashem,” is explained by Rav Tzvi Hirsh Charif, author of Tiv Gittin, as follows: The chapter that this passuk is in begins with the words “Shir Ha’amalos ashrei kol yerei Hashem haholech bidrachav,” and in the pesukim that follow, Dovid Hamelech lists the great happiness experienced by one who merits to be a yerei Hashem and serves his Creator from derp in his heart, and not out of habit. Therefore, the passuk concludes “heini ki chein,” because we have seen that one who is a yerei Hashem merits so much good, “yevorach gever yerei Hashem” – one who seeks to bless another does need to expound in his brachah. It is enough for him to give a brachah that the other person should merit to be a yerei Hashem, because this brachah in any case includes boundless goodness and blessing.
In light of this, Harav Gershon Stern, author of Yalkut Hagershuni explained these words: “Re’eh Anochi nosein lifneichem hayom brachah.” What is brachah? That you should be yerei Hashem, “asher tishme’u el mitzvas Hashem Elokeichem,” that this brachah includes all the brachos.
