Psalms 128

1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh 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 thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

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

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

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

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

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

5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

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

6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

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