< Psalms 128 >
1 BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth 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 thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
