< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.
A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
2 When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.
For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 Thy wife shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table.
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord.
Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.
5 The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life.
May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
