Psalms 128

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

[A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

2 You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.

4 This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

Look, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.

5 May the Lord go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.

May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 May you see your children's children. May Israel be at peace!

Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
