< Psalms 128 >
1 Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.
A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
2 For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.
Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
5 Jehovah bless thee out of Zion, and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
