Psalms 128

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking in His ways.

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

You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.

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

Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,

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

And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
