Psalms 128

1 “A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

Sang til Festrejserne. Salig enhver, som frygter HERREN og gaar paa hans Veje!

2 When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

Dit Arbejdes Frugt skal du nyde, salig er du, det gaar dig vel!

3 Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

Som en frugtbar Vinranke er din Hustru inde i dit Hus, som Oliekviste er dine Sønner rundt om dit Bord.

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

Se, saa velsignes den Mand, der frygter HERREN.

5 May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

HERREN velsigne dig fra Zion, at du maa se Jerusalems Lykke alle dit Livs Dage

6 And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.

og se dine Sønners Sønner! Fred over Israel!
