Psalms 128

1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
