Psalms 128

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

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

You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

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 fruitful vine growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

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

This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

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 go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper 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. May Israel be at peace!
