< 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 is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks 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 you will eat the labour of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with 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 will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.
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 out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
