Psalms 128

1 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

3 Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

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

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

6 And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
