< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
Blessed is every one that feareth YHWH; that walketh in his ways.
2 Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: joyful shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
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.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth YHWH.
5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
YHWH shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
