Psalms 128

1 (Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

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

2 You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.

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

3 Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].

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 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

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

5 I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

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

6 I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!

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