Psalms 128

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

Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.

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.

Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.

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].

Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.

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

Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.

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!

Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

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!

Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
