Psalms 128

1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, 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 surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing 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 blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,

6 And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
