Psalms 128

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

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

2 For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like 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 Look, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.

Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

5 May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see 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 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

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