Psaltaren 128

1 En vallfartssång. Säll är envar som fruktar HERREN och vandrar på hans vägar.

(Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

2 Ja, av dina händers arbete får du njuta frukten; säll är du, och väl dig!

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 Lik ett fruktsamt vinträd varder din hustru, därinne i ditt hus, lika olivtelningar dina barn, omkring ditt bord.

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 Ty se, så varder den man välsignad, som fruktar HERREN.

Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

5 HERREN välsigne dig från Sion; må du få se Jerusalems välgång i alla dina livsdagar,

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 och må du få se barn av dina barn. Frid över Israel!

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!
