< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in his ways.
“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, 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 is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man 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 Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
