< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Blessed is everyone who honors Yahweh, who walks in his ways.
Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.
2 What your hands provide, you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper.
For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your house; your children will be like olive plants as they sit around your table.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Yes, indeed, the man will be blessed who honors Yahweh.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Jehovah bless thee out of Zion, and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 May you live to see your children's children. May peace be on Israel.
Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
