Psalms 128

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

The song of greces. Blessid ben alle men, that dreden the Lord; that gon in hise weies.

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

For thou schalt ete the trauels of thin hondis; thou art blessid, and it schal be wel to 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.

Thi wijf as a plenteous vyne; in the sidis of thin hous. Thi sones as the newe sprenges of olyue trees; in the cumpas of thi bord.

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

Lo! so a man schal be blessid; that dredith 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.

The Lord blesse thee fro Syon; and se thou the goodis of Jerusalem in alle the daies of thi lijf.

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

And se thou the sones of thi sones; se thou pees on Israel.
