< Psalms 128 >
1 “A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.
[A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
2 When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.
For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with 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 will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4 Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.
Look, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
5 May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
