< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who 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.
Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Behold! thus happy is the man who 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.
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
