< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!
2 The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!
3 Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.
4 Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.
5 Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!
6 And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
