Psalms 128

1 A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.

A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk 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 by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, 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 is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.

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

Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

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 from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.

And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.
