Psalms 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

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

When thou eatest 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 innermost parts 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, surely 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,

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou 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!
