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 ascents. Blessed is everyone who honors Yahweh, who walks 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.

What your hands provide, you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper.

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 will be like a fruitful vine in your house; your children will be like olive plants as they sit around your table.

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

Yes, indeed, the man will be blessed who honors Yahweh.

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!

May Yahweh bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity 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!

May you live to see your children's children. May peace be on Israel.
