< 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 is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
2 You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.
5 YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,
Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,
6 And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
