< Psalms 128 >

1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!
2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
Behold! thus happy is the man who 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,
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
