Psalms 128

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking in His ways.

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

You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.

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

Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.

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

Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.

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

YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,

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

And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
