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 song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.

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.

When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.

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].

Thy wife shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table.

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

Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth 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!

The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy 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!

Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
