Salme 128

1 Lyksalig hver den, som frygter Herren, som gaar paa hans Veje!

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

2 Thi du skal æde Frugten af dine Hænders Arbejde; lyksalig er du, og det gaar dig vel.

You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

3 Din Hustru er som et frugtbart Vintræ paa Siderne af dit Hus, dine Børn som Oliekviste omkring dit Bord.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

4 Se, saaledes skal den Mand velsignes, som frygter Herren.

This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

5 Herren skal velsigne dig fra Zion, og du skal se Jerusalems Lykke alle dit Livs Dage.

May the Lord go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.

6 Og du skal se Børn af dine Børn! Fred være over Israel!

May you see your children's children. May Israel be at peace!
