< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
canticum graduum beati omnes qui timent Dominum qui ambulant in viis eius
2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
labores manuum tuarum quia; manducabis beatus es et bene tibi erit
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.
uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae filii tui sicut novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae
4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum
5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
benedicat te Dominus ex Sion et videas bona Hierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae
6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel
