Psalms 128

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

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

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

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

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.

Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

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

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

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

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
