< Psalms 128 >

1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
A Song of degrees. Blessed [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.
For 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] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy 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 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 shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
