Psalms 128

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

(Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

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

You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.

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

Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].

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

Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

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

I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

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

I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!
