Psalms 128

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

“A song of the degrees.” 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 labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, 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 is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses 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, truly thus shall be blessed the man 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 Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
