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 fears the LORD, 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.

For you will eat the labour of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

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 as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

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

Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

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 you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
