< 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 the LORD; 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 by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.
4 Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth 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 thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good 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, and peace upon Israel.
