< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
