Psalms 128

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

BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh 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 labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, 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 shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, that 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.

The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
