Psalms 128

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

A song of ascents. Happy all 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.

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

3 Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

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

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

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

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
