Psalms 128

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

A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

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

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

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

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

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

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
