Psalms 128

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

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

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

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

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

Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

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

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

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

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

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

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
