< 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 Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks 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 the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, 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 will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.
Look, thus is the man 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 out of Zion, and may you see the good 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!
Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
