Psalms 128

1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking 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 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on 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 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
