< Psalms 128 >

1 A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
Blessed is every one that feareth YHWH; that walketh in his ways.
2 You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: joyful shalt thou be, 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 shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth YHWH.
5 The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.
YHWH shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
