< Psalms 128 >
1 [A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears YHWH, who walks in his ways.
A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.
You shall eat the labours of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
4 Look, thus is the man blessed who fears YHWH.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
5 May YHWH bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
