Psalms 128

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

Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.

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

Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.

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

Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.

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

Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

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

Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
