< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
