Psalms 128

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

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

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

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

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

Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

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

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

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

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

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

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
