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 THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking 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.

You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.

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].

Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.

4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.

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!

YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your 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 the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
