Psalms 128

1 A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

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

2 The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

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

3 Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

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

4 Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

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

5 Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

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

6 And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!

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