Psalms 128

1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.

2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.

4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
