Psalms 128

1 A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

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

2 You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

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

3 Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

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

4 See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

5 The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

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

6 You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.

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