< Psalms 128 >

1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.
5 May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,
6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
