Psalms 128

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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