Psalms 128

1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

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

5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
