Psalms 128

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

4 Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

5 Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
