< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Blessed is everyone who honors Yahweh, who walks in his ways.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!
2 What your hands provide, you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper.
Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 Yes, indeed, the man will be blessed who honors Yahweh.
Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 May you live to see your children's children. May peace be on Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
