< 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 is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: happy [shalt] thou be, and [it shall be] well with thee.
When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
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 shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth 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 bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
