< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2 You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.
For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5 May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6 And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
