Psalms 128

1 (Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

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

2 You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.

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

3 Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].

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

4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

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

5 I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

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

6 I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!

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