Psalms 128

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

A song of ascents. Blessed is everyone who honors Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

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

What your hands provide, you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper.

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

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your house; your children will be like olive plants as they sit around your table.

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

Yes, indeed, the man will be blessed who honors Yahweh.

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

May Yahweh bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

May you live to see your children's children. May peace be on Israel.
