Psalms 128

1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
