< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking in His ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.
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.
Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.
Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.
5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,
YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,
6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
