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 degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

2 You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, 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 is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses 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, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth 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 thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
