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 happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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