Psalms 128

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

A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who 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.

For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will 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 is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.

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

Behold, so will the man be blessed who 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 from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.

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

And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.
