< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in his ways.
Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thine house: thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
