< Psalms 128 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking in His ways.
A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
2 You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.
You shall eat the labours of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with 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 shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
4 Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears 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 bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
