Psalms 128

1 A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who 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 For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

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

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

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

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
