Psalms 128

1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

(Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

2 When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].

4 Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

5 The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!
