Psalms 128

1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

4 Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

5 May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
