< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
(Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].
2 For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: happy [shalt] thou be, and [it shall be] well with thee.
You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.
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 like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!
6 Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!
