Psalms 128

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

5 YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
