Psalms 128

1 A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

2 For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.

Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!

3 Your wife is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.

Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

4 Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

6 And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
