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 Degrees. Blessed are all they that 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.

Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

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

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that 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 thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
