< Psalms 128 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking in His ways.
A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
2 You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.
You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
3 Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.
Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.
4 Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.
See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
5 YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,
May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
