< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks 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 you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.
Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!
5 May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
