Psalms 128

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears YHWH, who walks in his ways.

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

For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.

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

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.

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

Look, thus is the man blessed who fears YHWH.

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

May YHWH bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.

Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
