Psalms 128

1 Blessed is every one that feareth Yhwh; that walketh in his ways.

A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those 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 you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.

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 is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.

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

Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

5 Yhwh 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, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.

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

And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.
