< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
A song of ascents. Happy 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.
You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!
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.
Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
See! This is the blessing of 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.
The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.
6 And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
