< 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 THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking 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.
You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.
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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.
4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.
5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good 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 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
