< 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 happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, 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.
The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.
5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,
6 And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
