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 the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking 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.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

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

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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!

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days 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!

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
