< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.
2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
For you shall eat the labor of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with 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 shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.
4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears 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 shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
Yes, you shall see your children’s children, and peace on Israel.
