< Psalmorum 128 >
1 canticum graduum beati omnes qui timent Dominum qui ambulant in viis eius
(Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].
2 labores manuum tuarum quia; manducabis beatus es et bene tibi erit
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 uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae filii tui sicut novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae
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 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum
Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.
5 benedicat te Dominus ex Sion et videas bona Hierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae
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 et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel
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!
