Psalms 128

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

Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.

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

Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.

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

Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.

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

Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.

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

Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

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

Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
