Psalms 128

1 A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

2 For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.

For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Your wife is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.

Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

4 Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.

And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
