Psalms 128

1 A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

2 You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

5 The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
