Psalms 128

1 BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

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

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
