< Psalms 128 >
1 “A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.
A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh 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 thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.
4 Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
