< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.
2 When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.
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.
Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.
4 Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.
5 The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,
6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
