< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2 Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6 And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
