Psalms 128

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

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk 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 labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, 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 as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

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

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth 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 thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
