< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, 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 as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth 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 bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
