< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Blessed is everyone who honors Yahweh, who walks in his ways.
A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
2 What your hands provide, you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper.
You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.
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.
Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
4 Yes, indeed, the man will be blessed who honors Yahweh.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children's children. May peace be on Israel.
And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
