Psalms 128

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

Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.

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

For you shall eat the labor of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

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 shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.

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

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.

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

The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

Yes, you shall see your children’s children, and peace on Israel.
