Psalms 128

1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

2 You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

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 growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

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

This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

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 go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.

6 And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

May you see your children's children. May Israel be at peace!
