Psalms 128

1 A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.

A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.

You shall eat the labours of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

3 Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.

Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.

4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.

And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
