Psalms 128

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
