Psalms 128

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

Blessed is every one that feareth YHWH; that walketh in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: joyful shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

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

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth YHWH.

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

YHWH shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
