< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of ascents. Blessed is everyone who honors Yahweh, who walks in his ways.
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
2 What your hands provide, you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
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.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, in circuitu mensae tuae.
4 Yes, indeed, the man will be blessed who honors Yahweh.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
6 May you live to see your children's children. May peace be on Israel.
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
