< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
2 Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
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 fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of 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 send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
