Psalms 128

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

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, 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.

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

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, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

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

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

5 The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life.

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

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

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
