< 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 degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; 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: happy [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 the LORD.
5 Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
The LORD 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.
