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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!

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.

Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
