Psalms 128

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

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

You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

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 will be like a fruitful vine growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

4 Look, thus is the man blessed who fears YHWH.

This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

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 go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.

6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

May you see your children's children. May Israel be at peace!
