< Psalms 128 >
1 Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh 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 labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.
Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!
5 Jehovah bless thee out of Zion, and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
