Psalms 128

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

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

2 When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.

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

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.

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

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth 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.

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

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

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