< Psalms 128 >

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, in circuitu mensae tuae.
4 Look, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
5 May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
